FYI, here's how ORC handles this:

	/*
	 * Find the orc_entry associated with the text address.
	 *
	 * For a call frame (as opposed to a signal frame), state->ip points to
	 * the instruction after the call.  That instruction's stack layout
	 * could be different from the call instruction's layout, for example
	 * if the call was to a noreturn function.  So get the ORC data for the
	 * call instruction itself.
	 */
	orc = orc_find(state->signal ? state->ip : state->ip - 1);

and state->signal is only set for exceptions/interrupts (including
preemption and page faults) and newly forked tasks which haven't run
yet.
