[RFC PATCH v2 12/15] s390/ptrace: Provide frame_pointer()
Posted by Jens Remus 1 week, 6 days ago
On s390 64-bit the s390x ELF ABI [1] designates register 11 as the
"preferred" frame pointer (FP) register in user space.

While at it convert instruction_pointer() and user_stack_pointer()
from macros to inline functions, to align their definition with
x86 and arm64.

Use const qualifier on struct pt_regs pointers to prevent compiler
warnings:

arch/s390/kernel/stacktrace.c: In function ‘arch_stack_walk_user_common’:
arch/s390/kernel/stacktrace.c:114:34: warning: passing argument 1 of
‘instruction_pointer’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target
type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
...
arch/s390/kernel/stacktrace.c:117:48: warning: passing argument 1 of
‘user_stack_pointer’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target
type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
...
