[RFC v2 4/4] arm64: ftrace: add a stack frame for exception handler

From: AKASHI Takahiro
Date: Tue Aug 04 2015 - 03:45:27 EST


On arm64, an exception handler use the same stack as in non-exception
contexts, but doesn't create a stack frame for elx_xx entry, only updating
sp register. This behavior results in save_stace_trace() missing a function
that is the one when an exception happens.

This patch creates a stack frame for this case, and puts an additional
entry for the function in a stack trace list.
