This will result in slightly more expensive stack checking for
hardened usercopy, but I think that'd be okay if this could also be
made to be unwinder-agnostic. Then it would work for ORC too, and
wouldn't have to depend on just FRAME_POINTER. Without that, I'm not
sure what the benefit is in changing this?

What's going on here with the #if statement? Shouldn't this just be:

+static inline void *get_cur_frame(struct unwind_state *state)
+{
+ void *frame = NULL;
+
+#ifdef CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER
+ if (state->regs)
+ frame = (void *)state->regs;
+ else
+ frame = (void *)state->bp;
+#endif
+ return frame;
+}

?

Same thing above?

I think it's worth keeping this diagram: it explains what region is
being checked...

Also seems like we should keep the comment for describing what's happening...
