/*
* Common arm64 stack unwinder code.
*
+ * To implement a new arm64 stack unwinder:
+ * 1) Include this header
+ *
+ * 2) Provide implementations for the following functions:
+ * on_overflow_stack(): Returns true if SP is on the overflow
+ * stack.
+ * on_accessible_stack(): Returns true is SP is on any accessible
+ * stack.
+ * unwind_next(): Performs validation checks on the frame
+ * pointer, and transitions unwind_state
+ * to the next frame.
+ *
+ * See: arch/arm64/include/asm/stacktrace.h for reference
+ * implementations.
