x86/unwind: Adjust last frame check for aligned function stacks
Somehow, CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n convinces gcc to change the x86_64_start_kernel() prologue from: 0000000000000129 <x86_64_start_kernel>: 129: 55 push %rbp 12a: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp to: 0000000000000124 <x86_64_start_kernel>: 124: 4c 8d 54 24 08 lea 0x8(%rsp),%r10 129: 48 83 e4 f0 and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp 12d: 41 ff 72 f8 pushq -0x8(%r10) 131: 55 push %rbp 132: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp This is an unusual pattern which aligns rsp (though in this case it's already aligned) and saves the start_cpu() return address again on the stack before storing the frame pointer. The unwinder assumes the last stack frame header is at a certain offset, but the above code breaks that assumption, resulting in the following warning: WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffffffff82e03f40 in swapper:0 has bad value (null) Fix it by checking for the last task stack frame at the aligned offset in addition to the normal unaligned offset.
