Aishwarya reports that warnings are sometimes seen when running the ftrace kselftests, e.g. | WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 2066 at arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c:141 arch_stack_walk+0x4a0/0x4c0 | Modules linked in: | CPU: 5 UID: 0 PID: 2066 Comm: ftracetest Not tainted 6.13.0-rc2 #2 | Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) | pstate: 604000c5 (nZCv daIF +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) | pc : arch_stack_walk+0x4a0/0x4c0 | lr : arch_stack_walk+0x248/0x4c0 | sp : ffff800083643d20 | x29: ffff800083643dd0 x28: ffff00007b891400 x27: ffff00007b891928 | x26: 0000000000000001 x25: 00000000000000c0 x24: ffff800082f39d80 | x23: ffff80008003ee8c x22: ffff80008004baa8 x21: ffff8000800533e0 | x20: ffff800083643e10 x19: ffff80008003eec8 x18: 0000000000000000 | x17: 0000000000000000 x16: ffff800083640000 x15: 0000000000000000 | x14: 02a37a802bbb8a92 x13: 00000000000001a9 x12: 0000000000000001 | x11: ffff800082ffad60 x10: ffff800083643d20 x9 : ffff80008003eed0 | x8 : ffff80008004baa8 x7 : ffff800086f2be80 x6 : ffff0000057cf000 | x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : 0000000000000000 x3 : ffff800086f2b690 | x2 : ffff80008004baa8 x1 : ffff80008004baa8 x0 : ffff80008004baa8 | Call trace: | arch_stack_walk+0x4a0/0x4c0 (P) | arch_stack_walk+0x248/0x4c0 (L) | profile_pc+0x44/0x80 | profile_tick+0x50/0x80 (F) | tick_nohz_handler+0xcc/0x160 (F) | __hrtimer_run_queues+0x2ac/0x340 (F) | hrtimer_interrupt+0xf4/0x268 (F) | arch_timer_handler_virt+0x34/0x60 (F) | handle_percpu_devid_irq+0x88/0x220 (F) | generic_handle_domain_irq+0x34/0x60 (F) | gic_handle_irq+0x54/0x140 (F) | call_on_irq_stack+0x24/0x58 (F) | do_interrupt_handler+0x88/0x98 | el1_interrupt+0x34/0x68 (F) | el1h_64_irq_handler+0x18/0x28 | el1h_64_irq+0x6c/0x70 | queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x78/0x460 (P) The warning in question is: WARN_ON_ONCE(state->common.pc == orig_pc)) ... in kunwind_recover_return_address(), which is triggered when return_to_handler() is encountered in the trace, but ftrace_graph_ret_addr() cannot find a corresponding original return address on the fgraph return stack. This happens because the stacktrace code encounters an exception boundary where the LR was not live at the time of the exception, but the LR happens to contain return_to_handler(); either because the task recently returned there, or due to unfortunate usage of the LR at a scratch register. In such cases attempts to recover the return address via ftrace_graph_ret_addr() may fail, triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() above and aborting the unwind (hence the stacktrace terminating after reporting the PC at the time of the exception). Handling unreliable LR values in these cases is likely to require some larger rework, so for the moment avoid this problem by restoring the old behaviour of skipping the LR at exception boundaries, which the stacktrace code did prior to commit: c2c6b27b5aa14fa2 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries") This commit is effectively a partial revert, keeping the structures and logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries while still skipping reporting of the LR. The logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries is still useful for general robustness and as a building block for future support for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
