Josh Poimboeuf c280f7736a Revert "x86/unwind: Detect bad stack return address"
Revert the following commit:

  b6959a362177 ("x86/unwind: Detect bad stack return address")

... because Andrey Konovalov reported an unwinder warning:

  WARNING: unrecognized kernel stack return address ffffffffa0000001 at ffff88006377fa18 in a.out:4467

The unwind was initiated from an interrupt which occurred while running in the
generated code for a kprobe.  The unwinder printed the warning because it
expected regs->ip to point to a valid text address, but instead it pointed to
the generated code.

Eventually we may want come up with a way to identify generated kprobe
code so the unwinder can know that it's a valid return address.  Until
then, just remove the warning.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
