Subject: MIPS: Fix get_frame_info() handling of microMIPS function size
From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b6c7a324df37bf05ef7a2c1580683cf10d082d97 upstream.
get_frame_info() is meant to iterate over up to the first 128
instructions within a function, but for microMIPS kernels it will not
reach that many instructions unless the function is 512 bytes long since
we calculate the maximum number of instructions to check by dividing the
function length by the 4 byte size of a union mips_instruction. In
microMIPS kernels this won't do since instructions are variable length.
Fix this by instead checking whether the pointer to the current
instruction has reached the end of the function, and use max_insns as a
simple constant to check the number of iterations against.
