Ard Biesheuvel ccb81601ac ARM: memmove: use frame pointer as unwind anchor
The memmove routine is a bit unusual in the way it manages the stack
pointer: depending on the execution path through the function, the SP
assumes different values as different subsets of the register file are
preserved and restored again. This is problematic when it comes to EHABI
unwind info, as it is not instruction accurate, and does not allow
tracking the SP value as it changes.

Commit 207a6cb069 ("ARM: 8224/1: Add unwinding support for memmove
function") addressed this by carving up the function in different chunks
as far as the unwinder is concerned, and keeping a set of unwind
directives for each of them, each corresponding with the state of the
stack pointer during execution of the chunk in question. This not only
duplicates unwind info unnecessarily, but it also complicates unwinding
the stack upon overflow.

Instead, let's do what the compiler does when the SP is updated halfway
through a function, which is to use a frame pointer and emit the
appropriate unwind directives to communicate this to the unwinder.

Note that Thumb-2 uses R7 for this, while ARM uses R11 aka FP. So let's
avoid touching R7 in the body of the function, so that Thumb-2 can use
it as the frame pointer. R11 was not modified in the first place.

README

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.
