Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 14/39] x86/unwind/orc: Don't skip the first frame for inactive tasks

From: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@...e.cz>

[ Upstream commit f1d9a2abff66aa8156fbc1493abed468db63ea48 ]

When unwinding an inactive task, the ORC unwinder skips the first frame
by default.  If both the 'regs' and 'first_frame' parameters of
unwind_start() are NULL, 'state->sp' and 'first_frame' are later
initialized to the same value for an inactive task.  Given there is a
"less than or equal to" comparison used at the end of __unwind_start()
for skipping stack frames, the first frame is skipped.

Drop the equal part of the comparison and make the behavior equivalent
to the frame pointer unwinder.

Fixes: ee9f8fce9964 ("x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder")
