Vasily Gorbik 222ee9087a s390/unwind: start unwinding from reliable state
A comment in arch/s390/include/asm/unwind.h says:
> If 'first_frame' is not zero unwind_start skips unwind frames until it
> reaches the specified stack pointer.
> The end of the unwinding is indicated with unwind_done, this can be true
> right after unwind_start, e.g. with first_frame!=0 that can not be found.
> unwind_next_frame skips to the next frame.
> Once the unwind is completed unwind_error() can be used to check if there
> has been a situation where the unwinder could not correctly understand
> the tasks call chain.

With this change backchain unwinder now comply with behaviour
described. As well as matches orc unwinder implementation.  Now unwinder
starts from reliable state, i.e. __unwind_start own stack frame is
taken or stack frame generated by __switch_to (ksp) - both known to be
valid. In case of pt_regs %r15 is better match for pt_regs psw, than
sometimes random "sp" caller passed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
