Subject: [PATCH v13 09/11] arm64: Create a list of SYM_CODE functions, check return PC against list

From: [email-masked]
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2022 08:56:06 -0600

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

SYM_CODE functions don't follow the usual calling conventions. Check if the
return PC in a stack frame falls in any of these. If it does, consider the
stack trace unreliable.

Define a special section for unreliable functions
=================================================

Define a SYM_CODE_END() macro for arm64 that adds the function address
range to a new section called "sym_code_functions".

Linker file
===========

Include the "sym_code_functions" section under read-only data in
vmlinux.lds.S.

Initialization
==============

Define an early_initcall() to create a sym_code_functions[] array from
the linker data.

Unwinder check
==============

Add a reliability check in unwind_check_reliability() that compares a
return PC with sym_code_functions[]. If there is a match, then return
failure.
