Subject: [PATCH V5 12/16] perf, x86: use LBR call stack to get user callchain
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...el.com>
Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing Last Branch Record
facility to record call chains. When the feature is enabled, function
call will be collected as normal, but as return instructions are
executed
the last captured branch record is popped from the on-chip LBR
registers.
The LBR call stack facility can help perf to get call chains of progam
without frame pointer.
This patch makes x86's perf_callchain_user() failback to use LBR call
stack data when there is no frame pointer in the user program. The
'from'
address of branch entry is used as 'return' address of function call.
Signed-off-by: Yan, Zheng <zheng.z.yan@...el.com>
