arm64 selects ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS, then FRAME_POINTER is on (lib/Kconfig.debug)
and so -fno-omit-frame-pointer is appended (${TOP}/Makefile).
(stacktrace.c also assumes FRAME_POINTER.)
Do you think I should remove the comment above?

I think I understand what you mean, and will try to post a separate RFC,
but I also want to hold off this change on this patch since such a change
may raise a small controversy from other archs' maintainers.

I confirmed that __builtin_return_address([123456]) doesn't work
even with -fno-omit-frame-pointer.
Keep this as it is.
