[RFC PATCH v6 1/3] arm64: Improve the unwinder return value
From: madvenka
Date: Wed Jun 30 2021 - 18:34:38 EST
From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently, the unwinder returns a tri-state return value:
0 means "continue with the unwind"
-ENOENT means "successful termination of the stack trace"
-EINVAL means "fatal error, abort the stack trace"
This is confusing. To fix this, define an enumeration of different return
codes to make it clear. Handle the return codes in all of the unwind
consumers.
