8 * Multiple stack unwinders can be available on a system, usually with
9 * the most accurate unwinder being the currently active one.

18 * This is the most basic stack unwinder an architecture can
19 * provide. For architectures without reliable frame pointers, e.g.
20 * RISC CPUs, it can be implemented by looking through the stack for
21 * addresses that lie within the kernel text section.
23 * Other CPUs, e.g. x86, can use their frame pointer register to
24 * construct more accurate stack traces.
