Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) 
to consider:
- [High] Blindly duplicating all eh_frame sections ignores VMA inheritance 
rules (e.g., VM_DONTCOPY), leading to stale unwinding data.
- [Medium] Mixing goto-based error handling with guard() cleanup in the same 
function.

--- Patch [15]: [RFC PATCH v2 15/24] unwind_user/eh_frame: Duplicate registered 
.eh_frame[_hdr] section data on clone/fork ---
commit cedc4c84b3351e03d89a9e7fc338f35818891c5a
Author: Jens Remus <[email protected]>

unwind_user/eh_frame: Duplicate registered .eh_frame[_hdr] section data on 
clone/fork

When duplicating a process' virtual memory mappings also duplicate all
of its registered .eh_frame_hdr sections stored in the per-mm maple tree
to enable stacktracing using eh_frame of the child process.

[Severity: Medium]
Is it acceptable to mix goto-based error handling with guard() in the same
function? The cleanup guidelines suggest converting all resources to
scope-based cleanup or none to avoid confusing ownership semantics.

[Severity: High]
Does this unconditionally duplicate all eh_frame sections from the parent
without checking if the underlying VMA was actually copied during the fork?

If a process sets a region to VM_DONTCOPY or VM_WIPEONFORK before forking,
the child won't inherit the VMA, but it appears it will still inherit
the eh_frame section here. If the child process later maps new executable
code at the same address, could the unwinder use the parent's stale rules?
