[PATCH] ARM: fix race in for_each_frame

From: Mark-PK Tsai
Date: Tue Nov 12 2019 - 08:31:13 EST


The sv_pc, which is saved in the stack, may be an invalid address
if the target thread is running on another processor in the meantime.
It will cause kernel crash at `ldr r2, [sv_pc, #-4]`.

Check if sv_pc is valid before use it like unwind_frame in
arch/arm/kernel/unwind.c.
