Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/unwind/orc: Fix ORC for newly forked tasks
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2020 09:04:25 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f91a8778dde8aae7f71884b5df2b16d552040441.1594994374.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1594994374.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com>

The ORC unwinder fails to unwind newly forked tasks which haven't yet
run on the CPU.  It correctly reads the 'ret_from_fork' instruction
pointer from the stack, but it incorrectly interprets that value as a
call stack address rather than a "signal" one, so the address gets
incorrectly decremented in the call to orc_find(), resulting in bad ORC
data.

Fix it by forcing 'ret_from_fork' frames to be signal frames.
