Clément Léger 885827bc15 riscv: stacktrace: fix backtracing through exceptions
commit 51356ce60e5915a6bd812873186ed54e45c2699d upstream.

Prior to commit 5d5fc33ce58e ("riscv: Improve exception and system call
latency"), backtrace through exception worked since ra was filled with
ret_from_exception symbol address and the stacktrace code checked 'pc' to
be equal to that symbol. Now that handle_exception uses regular 'call'
instructions, this isn't working anymore and backtrace stops at
handle_exception(). Since there are multiple call site to C code in the
exception handling path, rather than checking multiple potential return
addresses, add a new symbol at the end of exception handling and check pc
to be in that range.

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 Restructured Text 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.
