[PATCH v2 07/12] ARM: unwind: track location of LR value in stack frame

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

The ftrace graph tracer needs to override the return address of an
instrumented function, in order to install a hook that gets invoked when
the function returns again.

Currently, we only support this when building for ARM using GCC with
frame pointers, as in this case, it is guaranteed that the function will
reload LR from [FP, #-4] in all cases, and we can simply pass that
address to the ftrace code.

In order to support this for configurations that rely on the EABI
unwinder, such as Thumb2 builds, make the unwinder keep track of the
address from which LR was unwound, permitting ftrace to make use of this
in a subsequent patch.

Drop the call to is_kernel_text_address(), which is problematic in terms
of ftrace recursion, given that it may be instrumented itself. The call
is redundant anyway, as no unwind directives will be found unless the PC
points to memory that is known to contain executable code.
