  * Description:
  *  backtrace() parsing the return address through frame pointer
  *
+ * Note:
+ *
+ *  The stack layout is as follows:
+ *
+ *    Stack (grows downward):
+ *                +--------------------+
+ *    high addr   |  locals of A       |
+ *                +--------------------+
+ *                | prev_fp(A)=0       | ← FP of A (first frame)
+ *                | saved_lr(A)        |
+ *                +--------------------+
+ *                | locals of B        |
