[PATCH 0/2] gas: sframe: Fix for flefible FDE and new test

This series consists of two patches: the first fixes the generation of SFrame data when dealing with flexible FDEs (Frame Description Entries) that support SFrame version 3. The second patch introduces a new test case to validate gas’s behavior with unsupported CFI (Call Frame Information) directives in signal frames. Together, these patches aim to improve the robustness and correctness of stack frame information generation in the GNU Assembler.
