Ah; I just spotted that this patch changed that in ftrace_graph_func(), which
is the source of the bug.
As of this patch, we use the address of fregs->lr as the retp value, but the
unwinder still uses the FP value, and so when unwind_recover_return_address()
calls ftrace_graph_ret_addr(), the retp value won't match the expected entry on
the fgraph ret_stack, resulting in failing to find the expected entry.
Since the ftrace_regs only exist transiently during function entry/exit, it's
possible for a stackframe to reuse that same address on the stack, which would
result in finding a different entry by mistake.
The diff below restores the existing behaviour and fixes the issue for me.
Could you please fold that into this patch?
On a separate note, looking at how this patch changed arm64's
ftrace_graph_func(), do we need similar changes to arm64's
prepare_ftrace_return() for the old-style mcount based ftrace?
Mark.
