* perf/x86/64: Report regs_user->ax too in get_regs_user()Denys Vlasenko2015-04-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't see why we report e.g. orix_ax, which is not always meaningful, but don't report ax, which is meaningful.

* perf/x86/64: Simplify regs_user->abi setting code in get_regs_user()Denys Vlasenko2015-04-111-16/+2Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | user_64bit_mode(regs) basically checks regs->cs to point to a 64-bit segment. This check used to be unreliable here because regs->cs was not always correct in syscalls. Now regs->cs is always correct: in syscalls, in interrupts, in exceptions. No need to emply heuristics here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yes, it is true that cx contains return address. It's not clear why we trash it. Stop doing that.

* perf/x86/64: Do not guess user_regs->cs, ss, sp in get_regs_user()Denys Vlasenko2015-04-111-14/+9Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After recent changes to syscall entry points, user_regs->{cs,ss,sp} are always correct. (They used to be undefined while in syscalls). We can report them reliably, without guessing.

* x86/asm/entry/64: Save user RSP in pt_regs->sp on SYSCALL64 fastpathDenys Vlasenko2015-03-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepare for the removal of 'usersp', by simplifying PER_CPU(old_rsp) usage: - use it only as temp storage - store the userspace stack pointer immediately in pt_regs->sp on syscall entry, instead of using it later, on syscall exit. - change C code to use pt_regs->sp only, instead of PER_CPU(old_rsp) and task->thread.usersp. FIXUP/RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK are simplified as well.

* perf/x86_64: Improve user regs samplingAndy Lutomirski2015-01-091-2/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Perf reports user regs for kernel-mode samples so that samples can be backtraced through user code. The old code was very broken in syscall context, resulting in useless backtraces. The new code, in contrast, is still dangerously racy, but it should at least work most of the time.

* perf: Move task_pt_regs sampling into arch codeAndy Lutomirski2015-01-091-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On x86_64, at least, task_pt_regs may be only partially initialized in many contexts, so x86_64 should not use it without extra care from interrupt context, let alone NMI context. This will allow x86_64 to override the logic and will supply some scratch space to use to make a cleaner copy of user regs.

* perf: Add ability to attach user level registers dump to sampleJiri Olsa2012-08-101-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump of user level registers on sample. Registers we want to dump are specified by sample_regs_user bitmask. Only user level registers are dumped at the moment. Meaning the register values of the user space context as it was before the user entered the kernel for whatever reason (syscall, irq, exception, or a PMI happening in userspace). The layout of the sample_regs_user bitmap is described in asm/perf_regs.h for archs that support register dump. This is going to be useful to bring Dwarf CFI based stack unwinding on top of samples.

* perf: Unified API to record selective sets of arch registersJiri Olsa2012-08-101-0/+90
This brings a new API to help the selective dump of registers on event sampling, and its implementation for x86 arch. Added HAVE_PERF_REGS config option to determine if the architecture provides perf registers ABI. The information about desired registers will be passed in u64 mask. It's up to the architecture to map the registers into the mask bits. For the x86 arch implementation, both 32 and 64 bit registers bits are defined within single enum to ensure 64 bit system can provide register dump for compat task if needed in the future.
