Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/perf: Return regs->nip as instruction pointer value when SIAR is 0
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2021 13:54:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210813082450.429320-2-kjain@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210813082450.429320-1-kjain@linux.ibm.com>
Incase of random sampling, there can be scenarios where SIAR is not
latching sample address and results in 0 value. Since current code
directly returning the siar value, we could see multiple instruction
pointer values as 0 in perf report.
Patch resolves this issue by adding a ternary condition to return
regs->nip incase SIAR is 0.
Fixes: 75382aa72f06 ("powerpc/perf: Move code to select SIAR or pt_regs
into perf_read_regs")
