The reason turns out to be because LKDTM isn't testing whether we are
overlapping stack frames.
Instead it wants us to tell it whether the original caller somewhere down the
stack pointed into a stack frame that hadn't yet been written. This requires
this function to know how it will be called and unwind some number of frames.
Annoyingly we have to maintain start/end boundaries for each frame in case the
object was neatly contained in a frame that wasn't written at the time.
Ideally we would inline this stack check into the caller, testing object_end
doesn't lie in the range current_stack_pointer : end_of_stack. This would work
even when built without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER but is probably too-invasive a change.
As is, the walk_stackframe() machinery version looks like this:

This avoids the __builtin_frame_address(!0) problem and doesn't duplicate the
actual stack walking. This can be simplified further if we can get rid of the
time-travel requirements.
It is unfortunately more code, but it is hopefully clearer!
