ARC: dw2 unwind: switch to .eh_frame based unwinding
So finally after almost 8 years of dealing with .debug_frame, we are finally switching to .eh_frame. The reason being stripped kernel binaries had non-functional unwinder as .debug_frame was gone. Also, in general .eh_frame seems more common way of doing unwinding. This also folds a revert of f52e126cc747 ("ARC: unwind: ensure that .debug_frame is generated (vs. .eh_frame)") to ensure that we start getting .eh_frame Reported-by: Daniel Mentz <danielmentz@google.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
