According to the https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/sframe-spec.html#AMD64
For x86_64, RA will be stored at a fixed offset from the CFA upon function entry. 
The ra_offset will set to sfhdr_p->cfa_fixed_ra_offset during the initialization
of the sframe_ip_entry within the function sframe_find_pc()
