[PATCH 0/8] unwind, arm64: add sframe unwinder for kernel

[Weinan Liu <wnliu@google.com>]

This patchset implements a generic kernel sframe-based [1] unwinder.
The main goal is to support reliable stacktraces on arm64.

On x86 orc unwinder provides reliable stacktraces. But arm64 misses the
required support from objtool: it cannot generate orc unwind tables for
arm64.

Currently, there's already a sframe unwinder proposed for userspace: [2].
Since the sframe unwind table algorithm is similar, these two proposal
could integrate common functionality in the future.

There are some incomplete features or challenges:
  - The unwinder doesn't yet work with kernel modules. The `start_addr` of
    FRE from kernel modules doesn't appear correct, preventing us from
    unwinding functions from kernel modules.
  - Currently, only GCC supports sframe.
