From: Paul Mackerras on 15 Mar 2010 01:50 This implements a powerpc version of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs. It's implemented in assembly because that way we can be sure there isn't a stack frame for perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs. If it was in C, gcc might or might not create a stack frame for it, which would affect the number of levels we have to skip. It's not ifdef'd because it is only 14 instructions long. With this, we see results from perf record -e lock:lock_acquire like this: # Samples: 24878 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ .............. ................. ...... # 14.99% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ._raw_spin_lock | --- ._raw_spin_lock | |--25.00%-- .alloc_fd | (nil) | | | |--50.00%-- .anon_inode_getfd | | .sys_perf_event_open | | syscall_exit | | syscall | | create_counter | | __cmd_record | | run_builtin | | main | | 0xfd2e704 | | 0xfd2e8c0 | | (nil) .... etc. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus(a)samba.org> --- arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h | 2 ++ arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.S | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h index c1b475a..a9b91ed 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h +++ b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/asm-compat.h @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ #define PPC_LLARX(t, a, b, eh) PPC_LDARX(t, a, b, eh) #define PPC_STLCX stringify_in_c(stdcx.) #define PPC_CNTLZL stringify_in_c(cntlzd) +#define PPC_LR_STKOFF 16 /* Move to CR, single-entry optimized version.
