Subject: [PATCH-4.19-stable 0/2] Backport ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER hint

On 4.19.93 the following warning was observed with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER:
> WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at 00000000bceb5183 in Coronavirus:3282 has bad value           (null)

It turns to be missing %rbp hint was making frame pointer unwinder
a bit tipsy.
The observed is WARN_ONCE(), so it one time per boot, but imho, worth to
have in stable too.

Peter Zijlstra (2):
  x86/stackframe: Move ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER to asm/frame.h
  x86/stackframe, x86/ftrace: Add pt_regs frame annotations
