tracing/kprobes: Fix kprobe-tracer to support stack trace
Fix to support kernel stack trace correctly on kprobe-tracer.
Since the execution path of kprobe-based dynamic events is different
from other tracepoint-based events, normal ftrace_trace_stack() doesn't
work correctly. To fix that, this introduces ftrace_trace_stack_regs()
which traces stack via pt_regs instead of current stack register.
e.g.
# echo p schedule+4 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
# head -n 20 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
bash-2968 [000] 10297.050245: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
bash-2968 [000] 10297.050247: <stack trace>
=> schedule_timeout
=> n_tty_read
=> tty_read
=> vfs_read
=> sys_read
=> system_call_fastpath
kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050265: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050266: <stack trace>
=> worker_thread
=> kthread
=> kernel_thread_helper
sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: <stack trace>
=> sysret_careful
Note: Even with this fix, the first entry will be skipped
if the probe is put on the function entry area before
the frame pointer is set up (usually, that is 4 bytes
(push %bp; mov %sp %bp) on x86), because stack unwinder
depends on the frame pointer.
