Josh Poimboeuf a8b7a92318 x86/unwind: Silence entry-related warnings
A few people have reported unwinder warnings like the following:

  WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffc90000fe7ff0 in rsync:1157 has bad value           (null)
  unwind stack type:0 next_sp:          (null) mask:2 graph_idx:0

  ffffc90000fe7ff8: ffffffffb7b74b9a (entry_SYSCALL_64_after_swapgs+0x17/0x4f)

This warning can happen when unwinding a code path where an interrupt
occurred in x86 entry code before it set up the first stack frame.
Silently ignore any warnings for this case.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
