/* Under GNU/Linux, signal handler invocations can be identified by the
   designated code sequence that is used to return from a signal
   handler.  In particular, the return address of a signal handler
   points to the following sequence (the first instruction is quadword
   aligned):

   bis $30,$30,$16
   addq $31,0x67,$0
   call_pal callsys

   Each instruction has a unique encoding, so we simply attempt to
   match the instruction the pc is pointing to with any of the above
   instructions.  If there is a hit, we know the offset to the start
   of the designated sequence and can then check whether we really are
   executing in a designated sequence.  If not, -1 is returned,
   otherwise the offset from the start of the desingated sequence is
   returned.

   There is a slight chance of false hits: code could jump into the
   middle of the designated sequence, in which case there is no
   guarantee that we are in the middle of a sigreturn syscall.  Don't
   think this will be a problem in praxis, though.

             As some low level compiler support routines (__div*, __add*)
             use a non-standard return address register, we have to
             add some heuristics to determine the return address register,
             or stepping over these routines will fail.
             Usually the return address register is the first register
             saved on the stack, but assembler optimization might
             rearrange the register saves.
             So we recognize only a few registers (t7, t9, ra) within
             the procedure prologue as valid return address registers.
             If we encounter a return instruction, we extract the
             the return address register from it.

             FIXME: Rewriting GDB to access the procedure descriptors,
             e.g. via the minimal symbol table, might obviate this hack.  */

     This is tricky. The only registers that are suitable for a frame save
     are those that are preserved across procedure calls (s0-s6). But if
     a read system call is interrupted and then a dummy call is made
     (see testsuite/gdb.t17/interrupt.exp) the dummy call hangs till the read
     is satisfied. Then it returns with the s0-s6 registers set to the values
     on entry to the read system call and our dummy frame pointer would be
     destroyed. So we save the dummy frame in the proc_desc and handle the
     retrieval of the frame pointer of a dummy specifically. The frame register
     is set to the virtual frame (pseudo) register, it's value will always
