alright, so let's make it target to riscv-tree to avoid that cracsh.

the new one is suited up.

Maybe I've missed something important! Or maybe I'm misunderstanding 
what you mean. But anyway there is something to show. In my perspective, 
we should construct a complete stack frame, otherwise one layer of stack 
will be lost in calltrace when enable CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

We can verify it by `echo 1 > 
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace`, and the results as show 
below:

1. complete stack frame
* --------------------------------------
* FP + 8           [ RA of parent func ] return address of parent
*                                        function
* FP + 0           [ FP                ]
*
* FP - 8           [ RA of traced func ] return address of traced
*                                        function
* FP - 16          [ FP                ]
* --------------------------------------
the stacktrace is:

  => trace_event_raw_event_bpf_trace_printk
  => bpf_trace_printk
  => bpf_prog_ad7f62a5e7675635_bpf_prog
  => bpf_trampoline_6442536643
  => do_empty
  => meminfo_proc_show
  => seq_read_iter
  => proc_reg_read_iter
  => copy_splice_read
  => vfs_splice_read
  => splice_direct_to_actor
  => do_splice_direct
  => do_sendfile
  => sys_sendfile64
  => do_trap_ecall_u
  => ret_from_exception

2. omit one FP
* --------------------------------------
* FP + 0           [ RA of parent func ] return address of parent
*                                        function
* FP - 8           [ RA of traced func ] return address of traced
*                                        function
* FP - 16          [ FP                ]
* --------------------------------------
the stacktrace is:

  => trace_event_raw_event_bpf_trace_printk
  => bpf_trace_printk
  => bpf_prog_ad7f62a5e7675635_bpf_prog
  => bpf_trampoline_6442491529
  => do_empty
  => seq_read_iter
  => proc_reg_read_iter
  => copy_splice_read
  => vfs_splice_read
  => splice_direct_to_actor
  => do_splice_direct
  => do_sendfile
  => sys_sendfile64
  => do_trap_ecall_u
  => ret_from_exception

it lost the layer of 'meminfo_proc_show'.
