    ARM: kprobes: Make a frame pointer on __kretprobe_trampoline · 7e9bf33b

    Currently kretprobe on ARM just fills r0-r11 of pt_regs, but
    that is not enough for the stacktrace. Moreover, from the user
    kretprobe handler, stacktrace needs a frame pointer on the
    __kretprobe_trampoline.
    
    This adds a frame pointer on __kretprobe_trampoline for both gcc
    and clang case. Those have different frame pointer so we need
    different but similar stack on pt_regs.
    
    Gcc makes the frame pointer (fp) to point the 'pc' address of
    the {fp, ip (=sp), lr, pc}, this means {r11, r13, r14, r15}.
    Thus if we save the r11 (fp) on pt_regs->r12, we can make this
    set on the end of pt_regs.
    
    On the other hand, Clang makes the frame pointer to point the
    'fp' address of {fp, lr} on stack. Since the next to the
    pt_regs->lr is pt_regs->sp, I reused the pair of pt_regs->fp
    and pt_regs->ip.
    So this stores the 'lr' on pt_regs->ip and make the fp to point
    pt_regs->fp.
    
    For both cases, saves __kretprobe_trampoline address to
    pt_regs->lr, so that the stack tracer can identify this frame
    pointer has been made by the __kretprobe_trampoline.
    
    Note that if the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set, this keeps
    fp as is.
