MIPS: Prevent unaligned accesses during stack unwinding
During stack unwinding we call a number of functions to determine what
type of instruction we're looking at. The union mips_instruction pointer
provided to them may be pointing at a 2 byte, but not 4 byte, aligned
address & we thus cannot directly access the 4 byte wide members of the
union mips_instruction. To avoid this is_ra_save_ins() copies the
required half-words of the microMIPS instruction to a correctly aligned
union mips_instruction on the stack, which it can then access safely.
The is_jump_ins() & is_sp_move_ins() functions do not correctly perform
this temporary copy, and instead attempt to directly dereference 4 byte
fields which may be misaligned and lead to an address exception.
Fix this by copying the instruction halfwords to a temporary union
mips_instruction in get_frame_info() such that we can provide a 4 byte
aligned union mips_instruction to the is_*_ins() functions and they do
not need to deal with misalignment themselves.
