Currently when interrupt arrives to cpu while in kernel context
INT_HANDLER macro (used for ext_int_handler and io_int_handler)
allocates new stack frame and pt_regs on the kernel stack and
sets up the backchain to jump over the pt_regs to the frame which has
been interrupted. This is not ideal to two reasons:
1. This hides the fact that kernel stack contains interrupt frame in it
and hence breaks arch_stack_walk_reliable(), which needs to know that to
guarantee "reliability" and checks that there are no pt_regs on the way.
2. It breaks the backchain unwinder logic, which assumes that the next
stack frame after an interrupt frame is reliable, while it is not.
In some cases (when r14 contains garbage) this leads to early unwinding
termination with an error, instead of marking frame as unreliable
and continuing.
To address that, only set backchain to 0.

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.
