/* Safety net to check whether frame ID L should be inner to
   frame ID R, according to their stack addresses.

   This method cannot be used to compare arbitrary frames, as the
   ranges of valid stack addresses may be discontiguous (e.g. due
   to sigaltstack).

   However, it can be used as safety net to discover invalid frame
   IDs in certain circumstances. Assuming that NEXT is the immediate
   inner frame to THIS and that NEXT and THIS are both NORMAL frames:

   * The stack address of NEXT must be inner-than-or-equal to the stack
     address of THIS.

     Therefore, if frame_id_inner (THIS, NEXT) holds, some unwind
     error has occurred.

   * If NEXT and THIS have different stack addresses, no other frame
     in the frame chain may have a stack address in between.

     Therefore, if frame_id_inner (TEST, THIS) holds, but
     frame_id_inner (TEST, NEXT) does not hold, TEST cannot refer
     to a valid frame in the frame chain.

   The sanity checks above cannot be performed when a SIGTRAMP frame
   is involved, because signal handlers might be executed on a different
   stack than the stack used by the routine that caused the signal
   to be raised.  This can happen for instance when a thread exceeds
   its maximum stack size. In this case, certain compilers implement
   a stack overflow strategy that cause the handler to be run on a

     Normally the resume address is inside the body of the function
     associated with THIS_FRAME, but there is a special case: when
     calling a function which the compiler knows will never return
     (for instance abort), the call may be the very last instruction
     in the calling function.  The resume address will point after the
     call and may be at the beginning of a different function
     entirely.

     If THIS_FRAME is a signal frame or dummy frame, then we should
     not adjust the unwound PC.  For a dummy frame, GDB pushed the
     resume address manually onto the stack.  For a signal frame, the
     OS may have pushed the resume address manually and invoked the
     handler (e.g. GNU/Linux), or invoked the trampoline which called
     the signal handler - but in either case the signal handler is
     expected to return to the trampoline.  So in both of these
     cases we know that the resume address is executable and
     related.  So we only need to adjust the PC if THIS_FRAME
     is a normal function.

     If the program has been interrupted while THIS_FRAME is current,
     then clearly the resume address is inside the associated
     function.  There are three kinds of interruption: debugger stop
     (next frame will be SENTINEL_FRAME), operating system
     signal or exception (next frame will be SIGTRAMP_FRAME),
     or debugger-induced function call (next frame will be
     DUMMY_FRAME).  So we only need to adjust the PC if
     NEXT_FRAME is a normal function.

     We check the type of NEXT_FRAME first, since it is already
     known; frame type is determined by the unwinder, and since
     we have THIS_FRAME we've already selected an unwinder for
     NEXT_FRAME.

     If the next frame is inlined, we need to keep going until we find
     the real function - for instance, if a signal handler is invoked
     while in an inlined function, then the code address of the
     "calling" normal function should not be adjusted either.  */
