Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events
We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
thread was started.
What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
things.
Let's use the new perf_save_regs() for that.
Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
Before:
perf [kernel] [k] __do_softirq
|
--- __do_softirq
|
|--55.16%-- __open
|
--44.84%-- __write_nocancel
After:
perf [kernel] [k] perf_tp_event
|
--- perf_tp_event
|
|--41.07%-- lock_acquire
| |
| |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock
| | |
| | |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt
| | | smp_apic_timer_interrupt
| | | apic_timer_interrupt
The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having
right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we
want.
Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs,
let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval.
