[PATCH 0/2] riscv: ftrace: make stack walk more robust.

[Puranjay Mohan]

The current stack walker in riscv implemented in walk_stackframe() provides
the PC to a callback function when it unwinds the stacks. This doesn't
allow implementing stack walkers that need access to more information like
the frame pointer, etc.

This series makes walk_stackframe() provide a unwinde_state structure to
callback functions. This structure has all the information that
walk_stackframe() can provide.

Currently, there are four users of walk_stackframe(): return_address(),
perf_callchain_kernel(), dump_backtrace(), and __get_wchan(). All of these
have been converted to use arch_stack_walk() rather than calling
walk_stackframe() directly.

We need this to implement arch_bpf_stack_walk() that provides a callback
that needs the FP, SP, and PC. This will be needed for implementing BFP
exceptions for RISCV.

There are no functional changes in this series.

I have tested this by crashing the kernel and looking at the stack trace
with and without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
