    perf/x86: Make perf callchains work without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER · 1d3d91ad

    commit d15d356887e770c5f2dcf963b52c7cb510c9e42d upstream.
    
    Currently perf callchain doesn't work well with ORC unwinder
    when sampling from trace point. We'll get useless in kernel callchain
    like this:
    
    perf  6429 [000]    22.498450:             kmem:mm_page_alloc: page=0x176a17 pfn=1534487 order=0 migratetype=0 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL
        ffffffffbe23e32e __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x22e (/lib/modules/5.1.0-rc3+/build/vmlinux)
    	7efdf7f7d3e8 __poll+0x18 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)
    	5651468729c1 [unknown] (/usr/bin/perf)
    	5651467ee82a main+0x69a (/usr/bin/perf)
    	7efdf7eaf413 __libc_start_main+0xf3 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)

    The root cause is that, for trace point events, it doesn't provide a
    real snapshot of the hardware registers. Instead perf tries to get
    required caller's registers and compose a fake register snapshot
    which suppose to contain enough information for start a unwinding.
    However without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, if failed to get caller's BP as the
    frame pointer, so current frame pointer is returned instead. We get
    a invalid register combination which confuse the unwinder, and end the
    stacktrace early.
    
    So in such case just don't try dump BP, and let the unwinder start
    directly when the register is not a real snapshot. Use SP
    as the skip mark, unwinder will skip all the frames until it meet
    the frame of the trace point caller.
    
    Tested with frame pointer unwinder and ORC unwinder, this makes perf
    callchain get the full kernel space stacktrace again like this:
