Thanks for this.

I think there are some more issues here, and we may need a more
substantial rework. For a compat thread, we always expose
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_32 via per_reg_abi(), but for some reason
perf_reg_value() also munges the compat SP/LR into their ARM64
equivalents, which don't exist in the 32-bit sample ABI. We also don't
zero the regs that don't exist in 32-bit (including the aliasing PC).

I reckon what we should do is have seperate functions for the two ABIs,
to ensure we don't conflate them, e.g.

u64 perf_reg_value_abi32(struct pt_regs *regs, int idx)
{
	if ((u32)idx > PERF_REG_ARM32_PC)
		return 0;
	if (idx == PERF_REG_ARM32_PC)
		return regs->pc;
	
	/*
	 * Compat SP and LR already in-place
	 */
	return regs->regs[idx];
}

u64 perf_reg_value_abi64(struct pt_regs *regs, int idx)
{
	if ((u32)idx > PERF_REG_ARM64_MAX)
		return 0;
	if ((u32)idx == PERF_REG_ARM64_SP)
		return regs->sp;
	if ((u32)idx == PERF_REG_ARM64_PC)
		return regs->pc;
	
	reutrn regs->regs[idx];
}

u64 perf_reg_value(struct pt_regs *regs, int idx)
{
	if (compat_user_mode(regs))
		return perf_reg_value_abi32(regs, idx);
	else
		return perf_reg_value_abi64(regs, idx);
}

Thanks,
Mark.
