The kernel CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC option enables the ORC unwinder, which is
similar in concept to a DWARF unwinder. The difference is that the format
of the ORC data is much simpler than DWARF, which in turn allows the ORC
unwinder to be much simpler and faster.
The ORC data consists of unwind tables which are generated by objtool.
After analyzing all the code paths of a .o file, it determines information
about the stack state at each instruction address in the file and outputs
that information to the .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections.
The per-object ORC sections are combined at link time and are sorted and
post-processed at boot time. The unwinder uses the resulting data to
correlate instruction addresses with their stack states at run time.
Most of the logic are similar with x86, in order to get ra info before ra
is saved into stack, add ra_reg and ra_offset into orc_entry. At the same
time, modify some arch-specific code to silence the objtool warnings.

As described in include/linux/linkage.h,
FUNC -- C-like functions (proper stack frame etc.)
CODE -- non-C code (e.g. irq handlers with different, special stack etc.)
SYM_FUNC_{START, END} -- use for global functions
SYM_CODE_{START, END} -- use for non-C (special) functions
So use SYM_CODE_* to annotate exception handlers.

KGDB is intended to be used as a source level debugger for the Linux
kernel. It is used along with gdb to debug a Linux kernel. GDB can be
used to "break in" to the kernel to inspect memory, variables and regs
similar to the way an application developer would use GDB to debug an
application. KDB is a frontend of KGDB which is similar to GDB.
By now, in addition to the generic KGDB features, the LoongArch KGDB
implements the following features:
- Hardware breakpoints/watchpoints;
- Software single-step support for KDB.

Some assembler symbols are not kprobe safe, such as handle_syscall (used
as syscall exception handler), *memset*/*memcpy*/*memmove* (may cause
recursive exceptions), they can not be instrumented, just blacklist them
for kprobing.
Here is a related problem and discussion:

Let's start to kill la.abs in preparation for the subsequent support of
the PIE kernel.
BTW, Re-tab the indention in arch/loongarch/kernel/entry.S for alignment.

Reflow the *.S files for better stylistic consistency, namely hard tabs
after mnemonic position, and vertical alignment of the first operand
with hard tabs. Tab width is obviously 8. Some pre-existing intra-block
vertical alignments are preserved.

Add system call support and related uaccess.h for LoongArch.
Q: Why keep _ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE definition while there is clone3:
A: The latest glibc release has some basic support for clone3 but it is
not complete. E.g., pthread_create() and spawni() have converted to
use clone3 but fork() will still use clone. Moreover, some seccomp
related applications can still not work perfectly with clone3. E.g.,
Chromium sandbox cannot work at all and there is no solution for it,
which is more terrible than the fork() story [1].
