When the jit_buf_desc contains unwinding information, it is emitted as eh_frame unwinding sections in the DSOs generated by perf inject. The unwinding information is required to unwind of JITed code which do not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls. It can be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed to V8. The eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr sections are emitted immediately after the .text. The .eh_frame is aligned at a 8-byte boundary, and .eh_frame_hdr at a 4-byte one. Since size of the .eh_frame is required to be a multiple of the word size, which means there will never be additional padding between it and the .eh_frame_hdr on machines where the word size is 4 or 8 bytes. However, additional padding might be inserted between .text and .eh_frame to reach the correct alignment, which will always be 8 bytes, also on 32bit machines. The reasoning behind this choice is that 4 extra bytes of padding worst case are not a large cost for the advantage of removing word-size dependent offset calculations when emitting the jitdump.
