Stack tracer searches for a function's pc in the stack based on the list returned by save_stack_trace(), but save_stack_trace() on arm64 does not return the exact return address saved in a stack frame, but a value decrmented by 4 (which means a branch instruction's address). This behavior was introduced by commit e306dfd06fcb ("ARM64: unwind: Fix PC calculation") So the matching doesn't succeed in most cases. This problem can be fixed either by a) reverting the commit above b) adding an arm64-specific hack to check_patch() This patch does b).
