  [Changes in V3]
  - Update documentation regarding the order of offsets in the variable
    length bytes following the SFrame FRE.
[End of changes in V3]

[Changes in V2]
  - Added an unsigned 8-bit integral field to SFrame header for
    supporting auxilliary SFrame header.  This helps make provisions to
    support any future ABI/arch by allowing each ABI/arch to add
    information specific to them in a flexible manner.
  - Changed the constants for
    SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR1/SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR2/SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR4
    from 1/2/3 to 0/1/2.
  - Other minor code formatting fixups.
[End of changes in V2]

The header sframe.h defines the SFrame format.

The SFrame format is the Simple Frame format.  It can be used to
represent the minimal necessary unwind information required for
backtracing.  The current version supports AMD64 and AARCH64.

More details of the SFrame format are included in the documentation
of the header file in this patch.

+/* SFrame format.
+
+   SFrame format is a simple format to represent the information needed
+   for vanilla virtual stack unwinding.  SFrame format keeps track of the
+   minimal necessary information needed for stack unwinding:
+     - Canonical Frame Address (CFA)
+     - Frame Pointer (FP)
+     - Return Address (RA)
+
+   The SFrame section itself has the following structure:
+
+       +--------+------------+---------+
+       |  file  |  function  | frame   |
+       | header | descriptor |  row    |
+       |        |   entries  | entries |
+       +--------+------------+---------+
+
+   The file header stores a magic number and version information, flags, and
+   the byte offset of each of the sections relative to the end of the header
+   itself.  The file header also specifies the total number of Function
+   Descriptor Entries, Frame Row Entries and length of the FRE sub-section.
+
+   Following the header is a list of Function Descriptor Entries (FDEs).
+   This list may be sorted if the flags in the file header indicate it to be
+   so.  The sort order, if applicable, is the order of functions in the
+   .text.* sections in the resulting binary artifact.  Each Function
+   Descriptor Entry specifies the start PC of a function, the size in bytes
+   of the function and an offset to its first Frame Row Entry (FRE).  Each FDE
+   additionally also specifies the type of FRE it uses to encode the unwind
+   information.
+
+   Next, the Frame Row Entry section is a list of variable size records,
+   each of which represent SFrame unwind information for a set of PCs.  A
+   singular Frame Row Entry is a self-sufficient record with information on
+   how to virtually unwind the stack for the applicable set of PCs.

+
+   The SFrame format has two possible representations for functions.  The
+   choice of which type to use is made according to the instruction patterns
+   in the relevant program stub.
+
+   An SFrame FDE of type SFRAME_FDE_TYPE_PCINC is an indication
+   that the PCs in the FREs should be treated as increments in bytes.  This is
+   used for a bulk of the executable code of a program, which contains
+   instructions with no specific pattern.
+
+   An SFrame FDE of type SFRAME_FDE_TYPE_PCMASK is an indication
+   that the PCs in the FREs should be treated as masks.  This type is useful
+   for the cases when a small pattern of instructions in a program stub is
+   repeatedly to cover a specific functionality.  Typical usescases are pltN
+   entries, trampolines etc.  */
