Subject: x86/unwind: Make CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y the default in kconfig for 64-bit
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>
commit fc72ae40e30327aa24eb88a24b9c7058f938bd36 upstream.
The ORC unwinder has been stable in testing so far. Give it much wider
testing by making it the default in kconfig for x86_64. It's not yet
supported for 32-bit, so leave frame pointers as the default there.
