[PATCH V2 2/2] LoongArch: KVM: fix "unreliable stack" issue

From: Xianglai Li

Date: Mon Dec 22 2025 - 06:59:04 EST


Insert the appropriate UNWIND macro definition into the kvm_exc_entry in
the assembly function to guide the generation of correct ORC table entries,
thereby solving the timeout problem of loading the livepatch-sample module
on a physical machine running multiple vcpus virtual machines.

While solving the above problems, we have gained an additional benefit,
that is, we can obtain more call stack information

Stack information that can be obtained before the problem is fixed:
[<0>] kvm_vcpu_block+0x88/0x120 [kvm]
[<0>] kvm_vcpu_halt+0x68/0x580 [kvm]
[<0>] kvm_emu_idle+0xd4/0xf0 [kvm]
[<0>] kvm_handle_gspr+0x7c/0x700 [kvm]
[<0>] kvm_handle_exit+0x160/0x270 [kvm]
[<0>] kvm_exc_entry+0x100/0x1e0
