From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> Use ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_FRAME to describe how frame pointers are unwound on x86, and enable CONFIG_HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP accordingly so the unwind_user interfaces can be used.
How is that going to work? Pretty much all x86 userspace is compiled with bp as a general purpose register not a frame pointer. David
