Mark Rutland 32ed120568 arm64: stacktrace: Skip reporting LR at exception boundaries
Aishwarya reports that warnings are sometimes seen when running the
ftrace kselftests, e.g.

The warning in question is:

  WARN_ON_ONCE(state->common.pc == orig_pc))

... in kunwind_recover_return_address(), which is triggered when
return_to_handler() is encountered in the trace, but
ftrace_graph_ret_addr() cannot find a corresponding original return
address on the fgraph return stack.

This happens because the stacktrace code encounters an exception
boundary where the LR was not live at the time of the exception, but the
LR happens to contain return_to_handler(); either because the task
recently returned there, or due to unfortunate usage of the LR at a
scratch register. In such cases attempts to recover the return address
via ftrace_graph_ret_addr() may fail, triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE()
above and aborting the unwind (hence the stacktrace terminating after
reporting the PC at the time of the exception).

Handling unreliable LR values in these cases is likely to require some
larger rework, so for the moment avoid this problem by restoring the old
behaviour of skipping the LR at exception boundaries, which the
stacktrace code did prior to commit:

  c2c6b27b5a ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries")

This commit is effectively a partial revert, keeping the structures and
logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries while still skipping
reporting of the LR. The logic to explicitly identify exception
boundaries is still useful for general robustness and as a building
block for future support for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
