CALLER_ADDRx returns caller's address at specified level, they are used
for several tracers. These macros eventually use
__builtin_return_address(n) to get the caller's address if arch doesn't
define their own implementation.
In RISC-V, __builtin_return_address(n) only works when n == 0, we need
to walk the stack frame to get the caller's address at specified level.
data.level started from 'level + 3' due to the call flow of getting
caller's address in RISC-V implementation. If we don't have additional
three iteration, the level is corresponding to follows:
callsite -> return_address -> arch_stack_walk -> walk_stackframe
| | | |
level 3 level 2 level 1 level 0

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
