Subject: [PATCH v12 09/10] arm64: Introduce arch_stack_walk_reliable()

From: [email-masked]
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2022 10:52:11 -0600

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <[email-masked]>

Introduce arch_stack_walk_reliable() for ARM64. This works like
arch_stack_walk() except that it returns -EINVAL if the stack trace is not
reliable.

Until all the reliability checks are in place, arch_stack_walk_reliable()
may not be used by livepatch. But it may be used by debug and test code.
