What is a 'kretporbe'?

What does 'marks it is' mean?
'undefine' UNWIND_HINT_FUNC?
Doesn't the patch do the exact opposite:
> +#define UNWIND_HINT_FUNC \ > + UNWIND_HINT(ORC_REG_SP, 8, UNWIND_HINT_TYPE_FUNC, 0)
But it does undefine it in a specific spot:

I have to say these changelogs are very careless.

In headers, in longer CPP blocks, please always mark the '#else' branch with what it is the else branch of.
See the output of:

s/doesn't seems to have a standard stack frame /doesn't have a standard stack frame
There's nothing 'seems' about the situation - it's a non-standard function entry and stack frame situation, and the unwinder needs to know about it.

Why not provide an appropriate annotation method in <asm/unwind_hints.h>, so that other future code can use it too instead of reinventing the wheel?
Thanks,
