* i386-linux-tdep.c (FRAMELESS_SIGNAL): Moved here from
config/i386/nm-linux.h (including comment). (i386_linux_frame_chain): New function implementing guts of the former FRAME_CHAIN macro, but using read_memory_unsigned_integer instead of read_memory_integer. (i386_linux_frame_saved_pc): Removed doc pointing to i386/tm-linux.h for an explanation of FRAMELESS_SIGNAL since that now lives in this file. * config/i386/tm-linux.h (FRAMELESS_SIGNAL): Moved to i386-linux-tdep.c (including comment). (FRAME_CHAIN): Redefined in terms of i386_linux_frame_chain. (i386_linux_frame_chain): New prototype.

+/* Signal trampolines don't have a meaningful frame. As in
+ "i386/tm-i386.h", the frame pointer value we use is actually the
+ frame pointer of the calling frame -- that is, the frame which was
+ in progress when the signal trampoline was entered. GDB mostly
+ treats this frame pointer value as a magic cookie. We detect the
+ case of a signal trampoline by looking at the SIGNAL_HANDLER_CALLER
+ field, which is set based on IN_SIGTRAMP.
+
+ When a signal trampoline is invoked from a frameless function, we
+ essentially have two frameless functions in a row. In this case,
+ we use the same magic cookie for three frames in a row. We detect
+ this case by seeing whether the next frame has
+ SIGNAL_HANDLER_CALLER set, and, if it does, checking whether the
+ current frame is actually frameless. In this case, we need to get
+ the PC by looking at the SP register value stored in the signal
+ context.
+
+ This should work in most cases except in horrible situations where
+ a signal occurs just as we enter a function but before the frame
+ has been set up. */
