Russell King (Oracle) c46c2c9b43 ARM: unwind: set frame.pc correctly for current-thread unwinding
When e.g. a WARN_ON() is encountered, we attempt to unwind the current
thread. To do this, we set frame.pc to unwind_backtrace, which means it
points at the beginning of the function. However, the rest of the state
is initialised from within the function, which means the function
prologue has already been run.

This can be confusing, and with a recent patch from Ard, can result in
the unwinder misbehaving if we want to be strict about the PC value.

If we correctly initialise the state so it is self-consistent (in other
words, set frame.pc to the location we are initialising it) then we
eliminate this confusion, and avoid possible future issues.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
