Subject: [BUG perf] perf_fetch_caller_regs / rewind_frame_pointer can panic

Hello

Current linux-2.6 tree panics on my dev machine

64 bit kernel, 32bit user land
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y

perf timechart record &

Instant crash

Call Trace:
 perf_trace_sched_switch+0xd5/0x120
 schedule+0x6b5/0x860

RIP ffffffff81010955 perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs+0x15/0x40
CR2: 00000000d21f1422


rewind_frame_pointer() is probably wrong.

No test performed to check frame is in current stack, or
that (!user_mode_vm(regs))


static inline unsigned long rewind_frame_pointer(int n)
{
	struct stack_frame *frame;

	get_bp(frame);

#ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
	while (n--)
		frame = frame->next_frame;
#endif

	return (unsigned long)frame;
}
