backends: ppc_abi_cfi reg1 use DW_CFA_val_offset not DW_CFA_val_expression.
Register rules using expressions are stored using an offset from the start of the .eh_frame or .debug_frame ELF section data. Since abi_cfi rules aren't stored in those ELF sections they should use neither DW_CFA_expression nor DW_CFA_val_expression. The only backend that used DW_CFA_val_expression was ppc_cfi.c. It was easier to express the same rule using DW_CFA_val_offset than to change the code to handle register rules using expressions. On most architectures this did work by accident. See the definition of struct dwarf_frame_register value in libdw/cfi.h to see why. But on ia64 the abi_cfi data and actual frame data were placed too far apart and caused a crash in tests/run-addrcfi.sh for ppc32. Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <[email protected]>
