arm64: ftrace: fix a stack tracer's output under function graph tracer
Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame to hook a function return. This will result in many useless entries (return_to_handler) showing up in a) a stack tracer's output b) perf call graph (with perf record -g) c) dump_backtrace (at panic et al.) For example, in case of a), $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_trace_enabled $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace Depth Size Location (54 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4504 16 gic_raise_softirq+0x28/0x150 1) 4488 80 smp_cross_call+0x38/0xb8 2) 4408 48 return_to_handler+0x0/0x40 3) 4360 32 return_to_handler+0x0/0x40 ...

This patch replaces such entries with real addresses preserved in current->ret_stack[] at unwind_frame(). This way, we can cover all the cases.
