Tomislav Novak 29917e381e ARM: 9251/1: perf: Fix stacktraces for tracepoint events in THUMB2 kernels
[ Upstream commit 612695bccfdbd52004551308a55bae410e7cd22f ]

Store the frame address where arm_get_current_stackframe() looks for it
(ARM_r7 instead of ARM_fp if CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y). Otherwise frame->fp
gets set to 0, causing unwind_frame() to fail.

  # bpftrace -e 't:sched:sched_switch { @[kstack] = count(); exit(); }'
  Attaching 1 probe...
  @[
      __schedule+1059
  ]: 1

A typical first unwind instruction is 0x97 (SP = R7), so after executing
it SP ends up being 0 and -URC_FAILURE is returned.

  unwind_frame(pc = ac9da7d7 lr = 00000000 sp = c69bdda0 fp = 00000000)
  unwind_find_idx(ac9da7d7)
  unwind_exec_insn: insn = 00000097
  unwind_exec_insn: fp = 00000000 sp = 00000000 lr = 00000000 pc = 00000000

With this patch:

  # bpftrace -e 't:sched:sched_switch { @[kstack] = count(); exit(); }'

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
