Is that a bug in gcc or something expected for riscv in general?

Maybe return_address() should be noinline to make sure it's not inlined 
as it would break the "+ 3"? Not sure it's necessary though.

And I see that with this patch, ftrace_return_address() is now defined 
whether CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is set or not, is that correct?

This looks like a fix to me so that should go into -fixes with a Fixes 
tag (but we'll have to make sure that the "+ 3" is correct on all 
backports...):

Fixes: 10626c32e382 ("riscv/ftrace: Add basic support")

And you can finally add for your v2 (or not if you don't respin):

Thanks and sorry for the delay!
