Vasily Gorbik 88b604263f s390/unwind: use current_frame_address() to unwind current task
current_stack_pointer() simply returns current value of %r15. If
current_stack_pointer() caller allocates stack (which is the case in
unwind code) %r15 points to a stack frame allocated for callees, meaning
current_stack_pointer() caller (e.g. stack_trace_save) will end up in
the stacktrace. This is not expected by stack_trace_save*() callers and
causes problems.

current_frame_address() on the other hand returns function stack frame
address, which matches %r15 upon function invocation. Using it in
get_stack_pointer() makes it more aligned with x86 implementation
(according to BACKTRACE_SELF_TEST output) and meets stack_trace_save*()
caller's expectations, notably KCSAN.

Also make sure unwind_start is always inlined.

README

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.
