[RFC PATCH v3 2/4] arm64: Check the return PC against unreliable code sections

[madvenka]

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

Create a sym_code_ranges[] array to cover the following text sections that
contain functions defined as SYM_CODE_*(). These functions are low-level
functions (and do not have a proper frame pointer prolog and epilog). So,
they are inherently unreliable from a stack unwinding perspective.

	.entry.text
	.idmap.text
	.hyp.idmap.text
	.hyp.text
	.hibernate_exit.text
	.entry.tramp.text

If a return PC falls in any of these, mark the stack trace unreliable.

The only exception to this is - if the unwinder has reached the last
frame already, it will not mark the stack trace unreliable since there
is no more unwinding to do. E.g.,

	- ret_from_fork() occurs at the end of the stack trace of
	  kernel tasks.

	- el0_*() functions occur at the end of EL0 exception stack
	  traces. This covers all user task entries into the kernel.

NOTE:
	- EL1 exception handlers are in .entry.text. So, stack traces that
	  contain those functions will be marked not reliable. This covers
	  interrupts, exceptions and breakpoints encountered while executing
	  in the kernel.

	- At the end of an interrupt, the kernel can preempt the current
	  task if required. So, the stack traces of all preempted tasks will
	  show the interrupt frame and will be considered unreliable.
