Hi all,
This series is based on arm64 for-next/core and is also dependent
on the series at [1].
A previous version of hypervisor stack unwinding was included
in the series at [2].
This new version of the unwinder splits the unwinding and dumping
of the stack between the hypervisor and host:
- The hyperviosr unwinds its stack and dumps the address entries
into a page shared with the host.
- The host then symnolizes and prints the hyp stacktrace from
the shared page.
The new approach doesn't depend on CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG,
and allows dumping hyp stacktraces in prodcution environments
(!CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG).
arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c is compiled twice: stacktrace.o for the
host kernel and stacktrace.nvhe.o for the hypervisor: This allows
reusing most of the host unwinding logic in the nVHE hypervisor.
