RISC-V: Fix elfutils testsuite unwind failures.
The clone.S patch fixes 2 elfutils testsuite unwind failures, where the backtrace gets stuck repeating __thread_start until we hit the backtrace limit. This was confirmed by building and installing a patched glibc and then building elfutils and running its testsuite. Unfortunately, the testcase isn't working as expected and I don't know why. The testcase passes even when my clone.S patch is not installed. The testcase looks logically similarly to the elfutils testcases that are failing. Maybe there is a subtle difference in how the glibc unwinding works versus the elfutils unwinding? I don't have good gdb pthread support yet, so I haven't found a way to debug this. Anyways, I don't know if the testcase is useful or not. If the testcase isn't useful then maybe the clone.S patch is OK without a testcase? Jim [BZ #24040] * elf/Makefile (CFLAGS-tst-unwind-main.c): Add -DUSE_PTHREADS=0. * elf/tst-unwind-main.c: If USE_PTHEADS, include pthread.h and error.h (func): New. (main): If USE_PTHREADS, call pthread_create to run func. Otherwise call func directly. * nptl/Makefile (tests): Add tst-unwind-thread. (CFLAGS-tst-unwind-thread.c): Define. * nptl/tst-unwind-thread.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/riscv/clone.S (__thread_start): Mark ra as undefined.
