Oops, it's a typo.

Sorry, I meant, this marks the kretprobe_trampoline as non-standard
stack frame by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD().

Yes, if you think this is not correct way, what about the following?

#ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD(kretprobe_trampoline);
#define KRETPROBE_UNWIND_HINT_FUNC
#else
#define KRETPROBE_UNWIND_HINT_FUNC	UNWIND_HINT_FUNC
#endif

Sorry for inconvenience...

OK.

Thanks for the hint!

OK.

Would you mean we should define the UNWIND_HINT_FUNC as a macro
which depends on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, in <asm/unwind_hints.h>?

Josh, what would you think?
