Chen, I noticed that your patch was discarded; it's not in linux-next today.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/YzHPGvhLkdQcDYzx@shell.armlinux.org.uk/
https://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=9231/1
How would you like to proceed here?

I think moving this out of line, incorporating Ard's feedback, then
putting the UNWIND directives on top might be the way to go. What do
you think?
