The unwinder reports the boot CPU idle task's stack on XEN PV as unreliable, which affects at least live patching. There are two reasons for this. First, the task does not follow the x86 convention that its stack starts at the offset right below saved pt_regs. It allows the unwinder to easily detect the end of the stack and verify it. Second, startup_xen() function does not store the return address before jumping to xen_start_kernel() which confuses the unwinder. Amend both issues by moving the starting point of initial stack in startup_xen() and storing the return address before the jump, which is exactly what call instruction does.

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.
