Subject: [PATCH 4.9 182/191] arm64: perf: Report the PC value in REGS_ABI_32 mode

From: Jiping Ma <jiping.ma2@...driver.com>

commit 8dfe804a4031ca6ba3a3efb2048534249b64f3a5 upstream.

A 32-bit perf querying the registers of a compat task using REGS_ABI_32
will receive zeroes from w15, when it expects to find the PC.

Return the PC value for register dwarf register 15 when returning register
values for a compat task to perf.

-	 * Compat (i.e. 32 bit) mode:
-	 * - PC has been set in the pt_regs struct in kernel_entry,
-	 * - Handle SP and LR here.
+	 * Our handling of compat tasks (PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_32) is weird, but
+	 * we're stuck with it for ABI compatability reasons.
+	 *
+	 * For a 32-bit consumer inspecting a 32-bit task, then it will look at
+	 * the first 16 registers (see arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/perf_regs.h).
+	 * These correspond directly to a prefix of the registers saved in our
+	 * 'struct pt_regs', with the exception of the PC, so we copy that down
+	 * (x15 corresponds to SP_hyp in the architecture).
+	 *
+	 * So far, so good.
+	 *
+	 * The oddity arises when a 64-bit consumer looks at a 32-bit task and
+	 * asks for registers beyond PERF_REG_ARM_MAX. In this case, we return
+	 * SP_usr, LR_usr and PC in the positions where the AArch64 SP, LR and
+	 * PC registers would normally live. The initial idea was to allow a
+	 * 64-bit unwinder to unwind a 32-bit task and, although it's not clear
+	 * how well that works in practice, somebody might be relying on it.
+	 *
+	 * At the time we make a sample, we don't know whether the consumer is
+	 * 32-bit or 64-bit, so we have to cater for both possibilities.
