Not frame->pc = *(unsigned long *)(fp + S_PC)? Don't we need to look up elr_el1
since this is an exception?

I'm just curious about this constant, 0x10. Do you have an idea on this value?
As reviewing objdump of vmlinux, it looks needed to analyze the first store-pair
instruction of each function.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
