VMware high-bandwidth hypercalls take the RBP register as input. This
breaks basic frame pointer convention, as RBP should never be clobbered.
So frame pointer unwinding is broken for the instructions surrounding
the hypercalls. Fortunately this doesn't break live patching with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, as it only unwinds from blocking tasks, and stack
traces from preempted tasks are already marked unreliable anyway.
However, for live patching with ORC, this could actually be a
theoretical problem if vmw_port_hb_{in,out}() were still compiled with a
frame pointer due to having an aligned stack. In practice that hasn't
seemed to be an issue since the objtool warnings have only been seen
with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.
Add unwind hint annotations to tell the ORC unwinder to mark stack
traces as unreliable.
Fixes the following warnings:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_in+0x1df: return with modified stack frame
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_out+0x1dd: return with modified stack frame

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.
