commit 59b6359dd92d18f5dc04b14a4c926fa08ab66f7c upstream.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, the kernel log is spammed with a few hundred identical messages:
unwind: Unknown symbol address c0800300 unwind: Index not found c0800300
c0800300 is the return address from the last subroutine call (to __memzero()) in __mmap_switched(). Apparently having this address in the link register confuses the unwinder.
To fix this, reset the link register to zero before jumping to start_kernel().
