      x86: Remove useless unwinder backlink from irq regs saving · 48ffee7d
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The unwinder backlink in interrupt entry is very useless.
      It's actually not part of the stack frame chain and thus is
      never used.

      x86,64: Separate arg1 from rbp handling in SAVE_REGS_IRQ · 3b99a3ef
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Just for clarity in the code. Have a first block that handles
      the frame pointer and a separate one that handles pt_regs
      pointer and its use.

      x86,64: Simplify save_regs() · 1871853f
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      The save_regs function that saves the regs on low level
      irq entry is complicated because of the fact it changes
      its stack in the middle and also because it manipulates
      data allocated in the caller frame and accesses there
      are directly calculated from callee rsp value with the
      return address in the middle of the way.
      
      This complicates the static stack offsets calculation and
      require more dynamic ones. It also needs a save/restore
      of the function's return address.
      
      To simplify and optimize this, turn save_regs() into a
      macro.

      x86: Fetch stack from regs when possible in dump_trace() · 47ce11a2
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      When regs are passed to dump_stack(), we fetch the frame
      pointer from the regs but the stack pointer is taken from
      the current frame.
      
      Thus the frame and stack pointers may not come from the same
      context. For example this can result in the unwinder to
      think the context is in irq, due to the current value of
      the stack, but the frame pointer coming from the regs points
      to a frame from another place. It then tries to fix up
      the irq link but ends up dereferencing a random frame
      pointer that doesn't belong to the irq stack:

      Fix this by simply taking the stack pointer from regs->sp
      when regs are provided.

      x86: Save stack pointer in perf live regs savings · 9e46294d
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      In order to prepare for fetching the stack pointer from the
      regs when possible in dump_trace() instead of taking the
      local one, save the current stack pointer in perf live regs saving.
