From 9eff26ea48bfbe2885b158742a7512a097ec911b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:05:13 +1100 Subject: powerpc/perf_events: Fix call-graph recording, add perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs This implements a powerpc version of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs to get correct call-graphs. It's implemented in assembly because that way we can be sure there isn't a stack frame for perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs. If it was in C, gcc might or might not create a stack frame for it, which would affect the number of levels we have to skip. With this, we see results from perf record -e lock:lock_acquire like this: # Samples: 24878 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ .............. ................. ...... # 14.99% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ._raw_spin_lock | --- ._raw_spin_lock | |--25.00%-- .alloc_fd | (nil) | | | |--50.00%-- .anon_inode_getfd | | .sys_perf_event_open | | syscall_exit | | syscall | | create_counter | | __cmd_record | | run_builtin | | main | | 0xfd2e704 | | 0xfd2e8c0 | | (nil) ... etc. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: anton@samba.org Cc: linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Frederic Weisbecker LKML-Reference: <20100318050513.GA6575@drongo> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h | 2 ++ arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.S | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 30 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h index c1b475a941eb..a9b91ed3d4b9 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h +++ b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ #define PPC_LLARX(t, a, b, eh) PPC_LDARX(t, a, b, eh) #define PPC_STLCX stringify_in_c(stdcx.) #define PPC_CNTLZL stringify_in_c(cntlzd) +#define PPC_LR_STKOFF 16 /* Move to CR, single-entry optimized version.
