[PATCH 1/3] ARM64: perf: add support for perf registers API

[Jean Pihet]

This patch implements the functions required for the perf registers API,
allowing the perf tool to interface kernel register dumps with libunwind
in order to provide userspace backtracing.
Compat mode is also supported.

Only the general purpose user space registers are exported, i.e.:
 PERF_REG_ARM_X0,
 ...
 PERF_REG_ARM_X28,
 PERF_REG_ARM_FP,
 PERF_REG_ARM_LR,
 PERF_REG_ARM_SP,
 PERF_REG_ARM_PC
and not the PERF_REG_ARM_V* registers.

[PATCH v6 0/3] perf: AARCH64 arch support

[Jean Pihet]

Add AARCH64 specific support. This includes the following:
- AARCH64 perf registers definition and hooks,
- compat mode registers use, i.e. profiling a 32-bit binary on
   a 64-bit system,
- unwinding using the dwarf information from the .debug_frame
   section of the ELF binary,
- unwinding using the frame pointer information; in 64-bit and
   compat modes.

Notes:
- the tools/perf change is submitted separately on LKML,
- support for unwinding using the dwarf information in compat
mode requires some changes to the libunwind code. Those changes
have been submitted on the libunwind ML and are in discussion.

Tested on ARMv7, ARMv8 and x86_64 platforms. The compat mode has been
tested on ARMv8 using statically built 32-bit binaries.

[PATCH 2/3] ARM64: perf: add support for frame pointer unwinding in compat mode

[Jean Pihet]

When profiling a 32-bit application, user space callchain unwinding
using the frame pointer is performed in compat mode. The code is taken
over from the AARCH32 code and adapted to work on AARCH64.

[PATCH 3/3] ARM64: perf: support dwarf unwinding in compat mode

[Jean Pihet]

Add support for unwinding using the dwarf information in compat
mode. Using the correct user stack pointer allows perf to record
the frames correctly in the native and compat modes.

Note that although the dwarf frame unwinding works ok using
libunwind in native mode (on ARMv7 & ARMv8), some changes are
required to the libunwind code for the compat mode. Those changes
are posted separately on the libunwind mailing list.

Tested on ARMv8 platform with v8 and compat v7 binaries, the latter
are statically built.

I already acked it all, but you'll need to wait until the next merge window
since this isn't a fix.

[PATCH v6 0/3] perf: AARCH64 arch support

[Jean Pihet]

Hi!

Gentle ping on this series? Which tree is it supposed to land in?

I have a new series about libdw integration and unwinding built-in
test for AARCH64, which is based on this one. How to handle it?

Regards,
Jean

Since it's only arm64 stuff and Will already acked the series, I'm going
to merge it via the arm64 tree. Consider it applied (for the upcoming
merging window).
