Subject: [PATCH 5.13 108/175] arm64: stacktrace: avoid tracing arch_stack_walk()

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

commit 0c32706dac1b0a72713184246952ab0f54327c21 upstream.

When the function_graph tracer is in use, arch_stack_walk() may unwind
the stack incorrectly, erroneously reporting itself, missing the final
entry which is being traced, and reporting all traced entries between
these off-by-one from where they should be.

When ftrace hooks a function return, the original return address is
saved to the fgraph ret_stack, and the return address  in the LR (or the
function's frame record) is replaced with `return_to_handler`.

When arm64's unwinder encounter frames returning to `return_to_handler`,
it finds the associated original return address from the fgraph ret
stack, assuming the most recent `ret_to_hander` entry on the stack
corresponds to the most recent entry in the fgraph ret stack, and so on.

When arch_stack_walk() is used to dump the current task's stack, it
starts from the caller of arch_stack_walk(). However, arch_stack_walk()
can be traced, and so may push an entry on to the fgraph ret stack,
leaving the fgraph ret stack offset by one from the expected position.

This can be seen when dumping the stack via /proc/self/stack, where
enabling the graph tracer results in an unexpected
`stack_trace_save_tsk` entry at the start of the trace, and `el0_svc`
missing form the end of the trace.

This patch fixes this by marking arch_stack_walk() as notrace, as we do
for all other functions on the path to ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack().
While a few helper functions are not marked notrace, their calls/returns
are balanced, and will have no observable effect when examining the
fgraph ret stack.

It is possible for an exeption boundary to cause a similar offset if the
return address of the interrupted context was in the LR. Fixing those
cases will require some more substantial rework, and is left for
subsequent patches.
