Changes

IStackWalk

  • Implements managed ARMUnwinder
  • Adds ARMContext
  • Adds ARMFrameHandler
    • Verified Frames
      • InlinedCallFrame
        • ARM implementation requires another field SPAfterProlog
      • SoftwareExceptionFrame

General ARM32 conversion fixes

Changes done in separate PR: #116720

  • DAC GetThreadData properly converts firstNestedException to a CLRDATA_ADDRESS
  • CodePointerUtils.CodePointerFromAddress properly handles TargetCodePointer.Null case. Previously it would append the thumb bit causing logic checks to fail.
