    s390/unwind: filter out unreliable bogus %r14 · bf018ee6
    Vasily Gorbik authored
    Currently unwinder unconditionally returns %r14 from the first frame
    pointed by %r15 from pt_regs. A task could be interrupted when a function
    already allocated this frame (if it needs it) for its callees or to
    store local variables. In that case this frame would contain random
    values from stack or values stored there by a callee. As we are only
    interested in %r14 to get potential return address, skip bogus return
    addresses which doesn't belong to kernel text.
    
    This helps to avoid duplicating filtering logic in unwider users, most
    of which use unwind_get_return_address() and would choke on bogus 0
    address returned by it otherwise.
