[PATCH v14 18/24] x86/asm/entry: Create stack frames in thunk functions

From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Wed Oct 21 2015 - 12:16:35 EST


Thunk functions are callable non-leaf functions that don't honor
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, which can result in bad stack traces. Also they
aren't annotated as ELF callable functions which can confuse tooling.

Create stack frames for them when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled and
add the ELF function type.
