[RFC PATCH v15 3/6] arm64: Make the unwind loop in unwind() similar to other architectures

[madvenka]

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

Change the loop in unwind()
===========================

Change the unwind loop in unwind() to:

	while (unwind_continue(state, consume_entry, cookie))
		unwind_next(state);

This is easy to understand and maintain.

New function unwind_continue()
==============================

Define a new function unwind_continue() that is used in the unwind loop
to check for conditions that terminate a stack trace.

The conditions checked are:

	- If the bottom of the stack (final frame) has been reached,
	  terminate.

	- If the consume_entry() function returns false, the caller of
	  unwind has asked to terminate the stack trace. So, terminate.

	- If unwind_next() failed for some reason (like stack corruption),
	  terminate.

Do not return an error value from unwind_next()
===============================================

We want to check for terminating conditions only in unwind_continue() from
the unwinder loop. So, do not return an error value from unwind_next().
Simply set a flag in unwind_state and check the flag in unwind_continue().

Final FP
========

Introduce a new field "final_fp" in "struct unwind_state". Initialize this
to the final frame of the stack trace:

	task_pt_regs(task)->stackframe

This is where the stacktrace must terminate if it is successful. Add an
explicit comment to that effect.
