Josh Poimboeuf ee213fc72f kprobes/x86: Set up frame pointer in kprobe trampoline
Richard Weinberger saw an unwinder warning when running bcc's opensnoop:

  WARNING: kernel stack frame pointer at ffff99ef4076bea0 in opensnoop:2008 has bad value 0000000000000008
  unwind stack type:0 next_sp:          (null) mask:0x2 graph_idx:0
  ...
  ffff99ef4076be88: ffff99ef4076bea0 (0xffff99ef4076bea0)
  ffff99ef4076be90: ffffffffac442721 (optimized_callback +0x81/0x90)
  ...

A lockdep stack trace was initiated from inside a kprobe handler, when
the unwinder noticed a bad frame pointer on the stack.  The bad frame
pointer is related to the fact that the kprobe optprobe trampoline
doesn't save the frame pointer before calling into optimized_callback().

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
