The return address (called r16 here) if obtained by taking the CFA, substract 8 and then read the value at that memory location. So far so good. But then I need the next frame. So use the return address, substract one (To obtain the call address). And start over... but, the value of r7 is not available anymore. The CFA (call frame address) is defined as "the value of %rsp at the call site in the previous frame" (*). So the value you calculated above in the first rule is the value of r7 in the previous frame and the call site address. Thanks, also for the link. Good to know that it is defined officially that way.
