[PATCH v4 0/6] arm64: ftrace: fix incorrect output from stack tracer

[AKASHI Takahiro]

This is the fourth patch series for fixing stack tracer on arm64.
The original issue was reported by Jungseok[1], and then I found more
issues[2].
(Steven, Jungseok, sorry for not replying to your comments directly.)

I address here all the issues and implement fixes described in [2] except
for interrupt-triggered problems(II-3) and leaf function(II-5).  Recent
discussions[3] about introducing a dedicated interrupt stack suggests that
we may avoid walking through from an interrupt stack to a process stack.
(So interrupt-stack patch is a prerequisite.)

Basically,
patch1 corresponds to the original issue.
patch2 is a proactive improvement of function_graph tracer. 
patch3 corresponds to II-4(functions under function_graph tracer).
patch4, 5 and 6 correspond to II-1(slurping stack) and II-2(differences
between x86 and arm64).

Each fix can be applied independently, but if patch4, 5 and 6 are
acceptable, patch1 is not necessary because patch7 replaces a default
stack tracer.

I tested the code with v4.3-rc7 + Jungseok's patch v5[4].

Changes from v3:
- fixed build errors/warnings reported by kbuild test robot
- addressed Steven's comments around check_stack()
- removed a patch ("arm64: ftrace: allow for tracing leaf functions")
  I don't remember why I thought this was necessary, but anyhow "-pg" seems
  to disable omit-leaf-stack-frame.
