Commit Message
The problem appears when break in nested noreturn calls.
panic_abort() and esp_system_abort() are noreturn functions:
#0 0x4008779f in panic_abort ()
#1 0x40087a78 in esp_system_abort ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
Assembly listing:
40081ad4 <panic_abort>:
40081ad4: 004136 entry a1, 32
40081aeb: ffff06 j 40081aeb <panic_abort+0x17>
...
40085614 <esp_system_abort>:
40085614: 004136 entry a1, 32
40085619: fc4ba5 call8 40081ad4 <panic_abort>
4008561c <__ubsan_include>:
4008561c: 004136 entry a1, 32
PC register for frame esp_system_abort points to the next instruction after
instruction with address 40085619.
It is ENTRY instruction for __ubsan_include. This caused wrong unwinding
because we are not in __ubsan_include at this frame. In general for
noreturn functions there should be RET instruction. This is why it works
in all other cases.
PC register can point to entry instruction only for the innermost frame.
It is not possible otherwise.
The fix is making it not possible to go with not innermost frame into
the code block which collects frame cache for frames when PC is on entry
instruction.

I think this is ok. In other places I believe the strategy to handle
tail calling frames where the return address is beyond the end of the
function is to use 'PC - 1' to lookup debug info instead, but you would
not want to do that for the first frame either in case you are stopped
at a function entry at the time of a stop.
