ARC: dw2 unwind: Remove falllback linear search thru FDE entries
Fixes STAR 9000953410: "perf callgraph profiling causing RCU stalls" | perf record -g -c 15000 -e cycles /sbin/hackbench | | INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU | 1: (1 GPs behind) idle=609/140000000000002/0 softirq=2914/2915 fqs=603 | Task dump for CPU 1: in-kernel dwarf unwinder has a fast binary lookup and a fallback linear search (which iterates thru each of ~11K entries) thus takes 2 orders of magnitude longer (~3 million cycles vs. 2000). Routines written in hand assembler lack dwarf info (as we don't support assembler CFI pseudo-ops yet) fail the unwinder binary lookup, hit linear search, failing nevertheless in the end. However the linear search is pointless as binary lookup tables are created from it in first place. It is impossible to have binary lookup fail while succeed the linear search. It is pure waste of cycles thus removed by this patch. This manifested as RCU stalls / NMI watchdog splat when running hackbench u...
