SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 8/9] ARM: kprobes: Make a frame pointer on __kretprobe_trampoline

This causes a regression that I see in randconfig builds with gcc-11:

/tmp/ccovvQNw.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccovvQNw.s:32: Error: invalid literal constant: pool needs to be closer
make[5]: *** [/git/arm-soc/scripts/Makefile.build:288:
arch/arm/probes/kprobes/core.o] Error 1

I have two randconfigs that reproduce it locally, here is a .config
[1] and assembly
output[2] for reference. I have not done any further analysis, but
maybe you have
an idea.
