For RISC-V, when tracing with tracepoint events, the IP and status are
set to 0, preventing the perf code parsing the callchain and resolving
the symbols correctly.
./ply 'tracepoint:kmem/kmem_cache_alloc { @[stack]=count(); }'
@:
{ <STACKID4294967282> }: 1
The fix is to implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs for riscv, which
fills several necessary registers used for callchain unwinding,
including epc, sp, s0 and status. It's similar to commit b3eac0265bf6
("arm: perf: Fix callchain parse error with kernel tracepoint events")
and commit 5b09a094f2fb ("arm64: perf: Fix callchain parse error with
kernel tracepoint events").
With this patch, callchain can be parsed correctly as:
./ply 'tracepoint:kmem/kmem_cache_alloc { @[stack]=count(); }'

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.
