2017-08-09arm64: unwind: remove sp from struct stackframeArd Biesheuvel
The unwind code sets the sp member of struct stackframe to 'frame pointer + 0x10' unconditionally, without regard for whether doing so produces a legal value. So let's simply remove it now that we have stopped using it anyway.

2016-05-16perf core: Add a 'nr' field to perf_event_callchain_contextArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We will use it to count how many addresses are in the entry->ip[] array, excluding PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc} entries, so that we can really return the number of entries specified by the user via the relevant sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts, or via the per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob. This way we keep the perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr meaning, that is the number of entries, be it real addresses or PERF_CONTEXT_ entries, while honouring the max_stack knobs, i.e. the end result will be max_stack entries if we have at least that many entries in a given stack trace.

2016-05-16perf core: Pass max stack as a perf_callchain_entry contextArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This makes perf_callchain_{user,kernel}() receive the max stack as context for the perf_callchain_entry, instead of accessing the global sysctl_perf_event_max_stack.

2016-04-27perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctlArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+ deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby. And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One that is per event still needs to be put in place tho. The new file is: # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack 127 Chaging it: # echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack 256 But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get: # echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy # Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter of having no callchain users at that point.

2015-12-21arm64: ftrace: fix a stack tracer's output under function graph tracerAKASHI Takahiro
Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame to hook a function return. This will result in many useless entries (return_to_handler) showing up in a) a stack tracer's output b) perf call graph (with perf record -g) c) dump_backtrace (at panic et al.) For example, in case of a), $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_trace_enabled $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace Depth Size Location (54 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4504 16 gic_raise_softirq+0x28/0x150 1) 4488 80 smp_cross_call+0x38/0xb8 2) 4408 48 return_to_handler+0x0/0x40 3) 4360 32 return_to_handler+0x0/0x40 ... In case of b), $ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer $ perf record -e mem:XXX:x -ag -- sleep 10 $ perf report ... | | |--0.22%-- 0x550f8 | | | 0x10888 | | | el0_svc_naked | | | sys_openat | | | return_to_handler | | | return_to_handler ...

This patch replaces such entries with real addresses preserved in current->ret_stack[] at unwind_frame(). This way, we can cover all the cases.

2015-12-21arm64: pass a task parameter to unwind_frame()AKASHI Takahiro
Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame to hook a function's return. This will result in many useless entries (return_to_handler) showing up in a call stack list. We will fix this problem in a later patch ("arm64: ftrace: fix a stack tracer's output under function graph tracer"). But since real return addresses are saved in ret_stack[] array in struct task_struct, unwind functions need to be notified of, in addition to a stack pointer address, which task is being traced in order to find out real return addresses. This patch extends unwind functions' interfaces by adding an extra argument of a pointer to task_struct.

2015-07-27arm64: perf: factor out callchain codeMark Rutland
We currently bundle the callchain handling code with the PMU code, despite the fact the two are distinct, and the former can be useful even in the absence of the latter. Follow the example of arch/arm and factor the callchain handling into its own file dependent on CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS rather than CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS.
