    MIPS: Extract schedule_mfi info from __schedule · 5000653e
    Tony Wu authored
    schedule_mfi is supposed to be extracted from schedule(), and
    is used in thread_saved_pc and get_wchan.
    
    But, after optimization, schedule() is reduced to a sibling
    call to __schedule(), and no real frame info can be extracted.
    
    One solution is to compile schedule() with -fno-omit-frame-pointer
    and -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, but that will incur performance
    degradation.
    
    Another solution is to extract info from the real scheduler,
    __schedule, and this is the approache adopted here.
    
    This patch reads the __schedule address by either following
    the 'j' call in schedule if KALLSYMS is disabled or by using
    kallsyms_lookup_name to lookup __schedule if KALLSYMS is
    available, then, extracts schedule_mfi from __schedule frame info.
    
    This patch also fixes the "Can't analyze schedule() prologue"
    warning at boot time.
