Subject: [PATCH v11 14/15] unwind_user/sframe: Add .sframe validation option

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...nel.org>

Add a debug feature to validate all .sframe sections when first loading
the file rather than on demand.

[ Jens Remus: Add support for PC-relative FDE function start address. ]

+	  When adding an .sframe section for a task, validate the entire
+	  section immediately rather than on demand.
+
+	  This is a debug feature which is helpful for rooting out .sframe
+	  section issues.  If the .sframe section is corrupt, it will fail to
+	  load immediately, with more information provided in dynamic printks.
+
+	  This has a significant page cache footprint due to its reading of the
+	  entire .sframe section for every loaded executable and shared
+	  library.  Also, it's done for all processes, even those which don't
+	  get stack traced by the kernel.  Not recommended for general use.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
