Subject: [PATCH v4 04/18] arm64: stacktrace: Handle frame pointer from different address spaces

The unwinder code is made reusable so that it can be used to
unwind various types of stacks. One usecase is unwinding the
nVHE hyp stack from the host (EL1) in non-protected mode. This
means that the unwinder must be able to tracnslate HYP stack
addresses to kernel addresses.

Add a callback (stack_trace_translate_fp_fn) to allow specifying
the translation function.

Please add a newline before the new block.

Also, something which you have done in comment blocks in this patch as
well as future patches (so I won't mention them again) is use the
opening comment mark /** , which is meant for kernel-doc comments
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html).
However, this block, and many if not most of the others don't seem to
be conformant (scripts/kernel-doc -v -none
arch/arm64/include/asm/stacktrace/common.h).

I think the easiest thing to do is to format them as a normal block: /*.

A call to unwind_next_common could fail having updated state->prev_fp
as well as state->stacks_done. I think that it might be better to
rework it so that there aren't any side effects should a call fail.

Hi Fuad,

Thanks for the comments. I'll address them in the next version.
