When the ORC unwinder is invoked for an oops caused by IP==0, it currently has no idea what to do because there is no debug information for the stack frame of NULL. But if RIP is NULL, it is very likely that the last successfully executed instruction was an indirect CALL/JMP, and it is possible to unwind out in the same way as for the first instruction of a normal function. Hardcode a corresponding ORC entry. With an artificially-added NULL call in prctl_set_seccomp(), before this patch, the trace is: Call Trace: ? __x64_sys_prctl+0x402/0x680 ? __ia32_sys_prctl+0x6e0/0x6e0 ? __do_page_fault+0x457/0x620 ? do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x160 ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 After this patch, the trace looks like this: Call Trace: __x64_sys_prctl+0x402/0x680 ? __ia32_sys_prctl+0x6e0/0x6e0 ? __do_page_fault+0x457/0x620 do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 prctl_set_seccomp() still doesn't show up in the trace because for some reason, tail call optimization is only disabled in builds that use the frame pointer unwinder.

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.
