Where are you checking that opts->sample_user_regs doesn't have either
IP or SP?

So, __perf_evsel__config_callchain its the routine that sets up the
attr->sample_regs_user when callchains are asked for, and what was it
doing? Asking for _all_ user regs, right?

I.e. what you're saying is that when --callgraph-dwarf is asked for,
then only IP and BP are needed, and we should stop doing that, so that
would be a first patch, if that is the case. I.e. a patch that doesn't
even mention opts->sample_user_regs.

Then, a second patch would fix the opt->sample_user_regs request clash
with --callgraph dwarf, i.e. it would do something like:

	      if ((opts->sample_regs_user & DWARF_REGS_MASK) != DWARF_REGS_MASK) {
	      		char * ip = (opts->sample_regs_user & (1ULL << PERF_REG_IP)) ? NULL : "IP",
	      		     * sp = (opts->sample_regs_user & (1ULL << PERF_REG_SP)) ? NULL : "SP",
			     * all = (!ip && !sp) ?  "s" : "";

			pr_warning("WARNING: specified --user-regs register set doesn't include register%s "
				   "needed by also specified --call-graph=dwarf, auto adding %s%s%s register%s.\n",
				   all, ip, all : ", " : "", sp, all);
		}

This if and only if all the registers that are needed to do DWARF
unwinding are just IP and BP, which doesn't look like its true, since
when no --user_regs is set (i.e. opts->user_regs is not set) then we
continue asking for PERF_REGS_MASK...

Can you check where I'm missing something?

Jiri DWARF unwind uses just IP and SP? Looking at
tools/perf/util/unwind-libunwind-local.c's access_reg() I don't think
so, right?
