How do you ensure that -fno-omit-frame-pointer is passed?

Could we change the core definitions of these macros (in linux/ftrace.h) to
use return_address, then provide an overridable version of return_address
that defaults to __builtin_return_address, instead of copy-pasting this
sequence?

This whole file is basically copied from arch/arm/, but it's not too much
code. Ideally the toolchain would have made use of the frame pointer, but it
looks like it doesn't bother.
