The arm64 stacktrace code is careful to only access valid stack
locations, but in the presence of a corrupted stack where frame records
form a loop, it will never terminate.

This series updates the stacktrace code to terminate in finite time even
when a stack is corrupted. A stacktrace will be terminated if the next
record is at a lower (or equal) address on the current stack, or when
the next record is on a stack we've already completed unwinding.

The first couple of patches come from Dave's prior attempt to fix this
[1], with the final patch relying on infrastructure which has been
introduced in the mean time.

I've given this a quick spin with magic-sysrq L in a KVM guest, and
things look fine, but further testing would be appreciated.

This series (based on v5.2-rc1) can also be found in my
arm64/robust-stracktrace branch on kernel.org [2].

Thanks,
Mark.
