Please do early exists for all the error conditions.  Also no casts
are needed for using ->fp as a scalar value, and we should probably
just do a struct copy instead of copying both values individually.

The function should look something like:

static int unwind_frame_kernel(struct stackframe *frame)
{
	if (!kstack_end((void *)frame->fp))
		return -EPERM;
	if ((frame->fp & 0x3 || frame->fp >= TASK_SIZE)
		return -EPERM;

	*frame = *((struct stackframe *)frame->fp - 1);
	if (__kernel_text_address(frame->ra)) {
		int graph = 0;

		frame->ra = ftrace_graph_ret_addr(NULL, &graph, frame->ra,
				NULL);
	}
	return 0;
}

Why not:

	do {
		perf_callchain_store(entry, fr->ra);
	} while (unwind_frame_kernel(fr) >= 0);

Overly long line.

Please don't indent the condition continuation and the loop body
by the same amount.
