arm64: perf: Fix callchain parse error with kernel tracepoint events
For ARM64, when tracing with tracepoint events, the IP and pstate are set to 0, preventing the perf code parsing the callchain and resolving the symbols correctly. ./perf record -e sched:sched_switch -g --call-graph dwarf ls [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.146 MB perf.data ] ./perf report -f Samples: 194 of event 'sched:sched_switch', Event count (approx.): 194 Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol 100.00% 100.00% ls [unknown] [.] 0000000000000000 The fix is to implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs for ARM64, which fills several necessary registers used for callchain unwinding, including pc,sp, fp and spsr . With this patch, callchain can be parsed correctly as follows: ...... + 2.63% 0.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] vfs_symlink + 2.63% 0.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] follow_down + 2.63% 0.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pfkey_get + 2.63% 0.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_execveat_common.isra.33 - 2.63% 0.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pfkey_send_policy_notify pfkey_send_policy_notify pfkey_get v9fs_vfs_rename page_follow_link_light link_path_walk el0_svc_naked .......
