powerpc/perf: Fix ABIv2 kernel backtraces
ABIv2 kernels are failing to backtrace through the kernel. An example: 39.30% readseek2_proce [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_entry | --- find_get_entry __GI___libc_read The problem is in valid_next_sp() where we check that the new stack pointer is at least STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD below the previous one. ABIv1 has a minimum stack frame size of 112 bytes consisting of 48 bytes and 64 bytes of parameter save area. ABIv2 changes that to 32 bytes with no paramter save area. STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD is in theory the minimum stack frame size, but we over 240 uses of it, some of which assume that it includes space for the parameter area. We need to work through all our stack defines and rationalise them but let's fix perf now by creating STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE and using in valid_next_sp(). This fixes the issue: 30.64% readseek2_proce [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_entry | --- find_get_entry pagecache_get_page generic_file_read_iter new_sync_read vfs_read sys_read syscall_exit __GI___libc_read Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.16+ Reported-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
