The unwinder reports the secondary CPU idle tasks' stack on XEN PV as unreliable, which affects at least live patching. cpu_initialize_context() sets up the context of the CPU through VCPUOP_initialise hypercall. After it is woken up, the idle task starts in cpu_bringup_and_idle() function and its stack starts at the offset right below pt_regs. The unwinder correctly detects the end of stack there but it is confused by NULL return address in the last frame. Introduce a wrapper in assembly, which just calls cpu_bringup_and_idle(). The return address is thus pushed on the stack and the wrapper contains the annotation hint for the unwinder regarding the stack state. Signed-off-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@xxxxxxx>
