[PATCH 08/10] arm64: stacktrace: report recovered PCs

When analysing a stacktrace it can be useful to know whether an unwound
PC has been rewritten by fgraph or kretprobes, as in some situations
these may be suspect or be known to be unreliable.
This patch adds flags to track when an unwind entry has recovered the PC
from fgraph and/or kretprobes, and updates dump_backtrace() to log when
this is the case.
The flags recorded are:
"F" - the PC was recovered from fgraph
"K" - the PC was recovered from kretprobes
These flags are recorded and logged in addition to the original source
of the unwound PC.
For example, with the ftrace_graph profiler enabled globally, and
kretprobes installed on generic_handle_domain_irq() and
do_interrupt_handler(), a backtrace triggered by magic-sysrq + L
reports:
| Call trace:
| show_stack+0x20/0x40 (CF)
| dump_stack_lvl+0x60/0x80 (F)
| dump_stack+0x18/0x28
| nmi_cpu_backtrace+0xfc/0x140
| nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace+0x1c8/0x200
| arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace+0x20/0x40
| sysrq_handle_showallcpus+0x24/0x38 (F)
| __handle_sysrq+0xa8/0x1b0 (F)
| handle_sysrq+0x38/0x50 (F)
| pl011_int+0x460/0x5a8 (F)
| __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x60/0x220 (F)
| handle_irq_event+0x54/0xc0 (F)
| handle_fasteoi_irq+0xa8/0x1d0 (F)
| generic_handle_domain_irq+0x34/0x58 (F)
| gic_handle_irq+0x54/0x140 (FK)
| call_on_irq_stack+0x24/0x58 (F)
| do_interrupt_handler+0x88/0xa0
| el1_interrupt+0x34/0x68 (FK)
| el1h_64_irq_handler+0x18/0x28
| el1h_64_irq+0x64/0x68
| default_idle_call+0x34/0x180
| do_idle+0x204/0x268
| cpu_startup_entry+0x40/0x50 (F)
| rest_init+0xe4/0xf0
| start_kernel+0x744/0x750
| __primary_switched+0x80/0x90
Note that as these flags are reported next to the recovered PC value,
they appear on the callers of instrumented functions, e.g.
gic_handle_irq has a "K" marker because generic_handle_domain_irq was
instrumented with kretprobes and had its return addredd (gic_handle_irq)
rewritten.
