[PATCH v11 3/5] arm64: Make the unwind loop in unwind() similar to other architectures

From: madvenka
Date: Tue Nov 23 2021 - 14:37:54 EST


From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Change the loop in unwind()
===========================

Change the unwind loop in unwind() to:

unwind_start(&frame, fp, pc);
while (unwind_continue(tsk, &frame, fn, data))
unwind_next(tsk, &frame);

New function unwind_continue()
==============================

Define a new function unwind_continue() that is used in the unwind loop
to check for conditions that terminate a stack trace.

The conditions checked are:

- If the bottom of the stack has been reached, terminate.

- If the consume_entry() function returns false, the caller of
unwind has asked to terminate the stack trace. So, terminate.

- If unwind_next() failed for some reason (like stack corruption),
terminate.

Do not return an error value from unwind_next()
===============================================

We want to check for terminating conditions only in unwind_continue() from
the unwinder loop. So, do not return an error value from unwind_next().
Simply set a flag in the stackframe and check the flag in unwind_continue().
