current_stack_pointer() simply returns current value of %r15. If current_stack_pointer() caller allocates stack (which is the case in unwind code) %r15 points to a stack frame allocated for callees, meaning current_stack_pointer() caller (e.g. stack_trace_save) will end up in the stacktrace. This is not expected by stack_trace_save*() callers and causes problems. current_frame_address() on the other hand returns function stack frame address, which matches %r15 upon function invocation. Using it in get_stack_pointer() makes it more aligned with x86 implementation (according to BACKTRACE_SELF_TEST output) and meets stack_trace_save*() caller's expectations, notably KCSAN. Also make sure unwind_start is always inlined.

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.
