How about binding it to -4 in unwind_frame function?
IMHO, it would help other developers trying to change stack trace code
be aware of this stack tracer feature.

I've prepared a kernel with the following patches and reviewed them.
1) Steve's clean up patch
2) This patch
3) [RFC 2/3]
AFAIU, [RFC 3/3] is not needed any more thanks to Steve's patch.
First of all, let's look at the following data.
1) stack_trace data

2) stack_max_size data
4888
The data looks odd in two points.
1) the number of entry
There is a mismatch between start token and real data
2) 80-byte gap
stack_max_size is not aligned with "Depth" field of the first entry of stack_trace.
IMHO, two items are not considered in this series as digging them out.
1) skipped entries
As x variable is introduced in Steve's patch, it is needed to track down
how many entries are recorded in both stack_dump_trace and stack_dump_index.
2) max_stack_trace.skip value
max_stack_trace.skip is 0 as applying Steve's patch. The above gap could be
observed unless the value is not considered in arch code. In the above example,
80-byte gap is save_stack_trace function in arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c.
As applying the following fix, stack_trace and stack_max_size are okay.
However, I'm not sure which code, arch or generic ftrace, should handle trace->skip.
The latter one is responsible for it under current implementation, not Steve's change.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Best Regards
Jungseok Lee
