A quick bit of sed turned up the code in arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S,
which looks to suffer from the same bug,

        /* rdi: arg1 ... normal C conventions. rax is saved/restored. */
        .macro THUNK name, func, put_ret_addr_in_rdi=0
        .globl \name
        .type \name, @function
\name:
        FRAME_BEGIN

        /* this one pushes 9 elems, the next one would be %rIP */
        pushq %rdi
        pushq %rsi
        pushq %rdx
        pushq %rcx
        pushq %rax
        pushq %r8
        pushq %r9
        pushq %r10
        pushq %r11

        .if \put_ret_addr_in_rdi
        /* 9*8(%rsp) is return addr on stack */
        movq 9*8(%rsp), %rdi
        .endif

With CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y 9*8(%rsp) is actually the value of %rbp on
entry, not the return address.
