commit b735bd3e68824316655252a931a3353a6ebc036f upstream. The ORC metadata generated for UNWIND_HINT_FUNC isn't actually very func-like. With certain usages it can cause stack state mismatches because it doesn't set the return address (CFI_RA). Also, users of UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET no longer need to set a custom return stack offset. Instead they just need to specify a func-like situation, so the current ret_offset code is hacky for no good reason. Solve both problems by simplifying the RET_OFFSET handling and converting it into a more useful UNWIND_HINT_FUNC. If we end up needing the old 'ret_offset' functionality again in the future, we should be able to support it pretty easily with the addition of a custom 'sp_offset' in UNWIND_HINT_FUNC.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
