Josh Poimboeuf efd9381d62 x86/entry/64: Fix unwind hints in register clearing code
[ Upstream commit 06a9750edcffa808494d56da939085c35904e618 ]

The PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro zeroes each register immediately after
pushing it.  If an NMI or exception hits after a register is cleared,
but before the UNWIND_HINT_REGS annotation, the ORC unwinder will
wrongly think the previous value of the register was zero.  This can
confuse the unwinding process and cause it to exit early.

Because ORC is simpler than DWARF, there are a limited number of unwind
annotation states, so it's not possible to add an individual unwind hint
after each push/clear combination.  Instead, the register clearing
instructions need to be consolidated and moved to after the
UNWIND_HINT_REGS annotation.

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.
