GDB disassembles the code and tries to guess how to unwind it.
amd64-tdep.c amd64_analyze_prologue(), amd64_frame_cache_1() etc.

That is just a last resort way of unwinding (=a bug in the debuggee), there
should always be .eh_frame in the debuggee, also for throwing exceptions
across such .eh_frame-less functions if there is any callback there.
