[ Upstream commit6f9885a36c] There have been some reports of "bad bp value" warnings printed by the frame pointer unwinder: WARNING: kernel stack regs at 000000005bac7112 in sh:1014 has bad 'bp' value 0000000000000000 This warning happens when unwinding from an interrupt in ret_from_fork(). If entry code gets interrupted, the state of the frame pointer (rbp) may be undefined, which can confuse the unwinder, resulting in warnings like the above. There's an in_entry_code() check which normally silences such warnings for entry code. But in this case, ret_from_fork() is getting interrupted. It recently got moved out of .entry.text, so the in_entry_code() check no longer works. It could be moved back into .entry.text, but that would break the noinstr validation because of the call to schedule_tail(). Instead, initialize each new task's RBP to point to the task's entry regs via an encoded frame pointer. That will allow the unwinder to reach the end of the stack gracefully.

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.
