* powerpc: Make /proc/self/stack always print the current stackThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo2017-03-281-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the current task, the kernel stack would only tell the last time the process was rescheduled, if ever. Use the current stack pointer for the current task. Otherwise, every once in a while, the stacktrace printed when reading /proc/self/stack would look like the process is running in userspace, while it's not, which some may consider as a bug. This is also consistent with some other architectures, like x86 and arm, at least.

* sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to ↵Ingo Molnar2017-03-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <linux/sched/debug.h> We are going to split <linux/sched/debug.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/debug.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

* powerpc: Implement save_stack_trace_regs() to enable kprobe stack tracingSteven Rostedt2016-01-111-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It has come to my attention that kprobe event stack tracing does not work on powerpc. You can see with the following: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo stacktrace > trace_options # echo 'p kfree' > kprobe_events # echo 1 > events/kprobes/enable Will print the following warning: save_stack_trace_regs() not implemented yet. Although save_stack_trace() (which normal event stack traces use) is implemented, save_stack_trace_regs() which kprobe events use is not. This is a cheap attempt to implement that function. Note, This may have issues if a task tries to get a stack trace from another task with its regs, because it just passes in "current" to save_context_stack(). But this does solve the issue with stack tracing kprobe events.

* powerpc: Rename __get_SP() to current_stack_pointer()Anton Blanchard2014-10-151-1/+1

* powerpc: Reimplement __get_SP() as a function not a defineAnton Blanchard2014-10-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Li Zhong points out an issue with our current __get_SP() implementation. If ftrace function tracing is enabled (ie -pg profiling using _mcount) we spill a stack frame on 64bit all the time. If a function calls __get_SP() and later calls a function that is tail call optimised, we will pop the stack frame and the value returned by __get_SP() is no longer valid. An example from Li can be found in save_stack_trace -> save_context_stack: c0000000000432c0 <.save_stack_trace>: c0000000000432c0: mflr r0 c0000000000432c4: std r0,16(r1) c0000000000432c8: stdu r1,-128(r1) <-- stack frame for _mcount c0000000000432cc: std r3,112(r1) c0000000000432d0: bl <._mcount> c0000000000432d4: nop c0000000000432d8: mr r4,r1 <-- __get_SP() c0000000000432dc: ld r5,632(r13) c0000000000432e0: ld r3,112(r1) c0000000000432e4: li r6,1 c0000000000432e8: addi r1,r1,128 <-- pop stack frame c0000000000432ec: ld r0,16(r1) c0000000000432f0: mtlr r0 c0000000000432f4: b <.save_context_stack> <-- tail call optimized save_context_stack ends up with a stack pointer below the current one, and it is likely to be scribbled over. Fix this by making __get_SP() a function which returns the callers stack frame. Also replace inline assembly which grabs the stack pointer in save_stack_trace and show_stack with __get_SP(). This also fixes an issue with perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs(). It currently unwinds the stack once, which will skip a valid stack frame on a leaf function. With the __get_SP() fixes in this patch, we never need to unwind the stack frame to get to the first interesting frame. We have to export __get_SP() because perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() (which is used in modules) calls it from a header file.
