Maybe it sheds some light :-). I had sort of been developing the theory
that the stuff I was looking at was trying to describe a frame that
is not exactly a frame, but just some inline code (is that what a "pad" is?),
but I still haven't been able to make any actual sense of the .eh_frame
dumps from readelf (maybe readelf is broken?). For example, trying to
walkback from inside a pthread_mutex_lock call, I find this CIE/FDE
combo:

It appears to be defining register 16 by using register 16 as a
base register, with no initial definition of register 16 provided
in the CIE, then there is the really complex expression
for the instruction I'm actually trying to walkback through
at 31906091af - my brain just sort of shuts down when I try
to understand this stuff :-).
Perhaps I should go look at the actual pthread source code that
matches the version loaded on my system, it might make more
sense when I see it with some context around it.
