- * Take a snapshot of the regs. Skip ip and frame pointer to
- * the nth caller. We only need a few of the regs:
+ * When generating a perf sample in-line, instead of from an interrupt /
+ * exception, we lack a pt_regs. This is typically used from software events
+ * like: SW_CONTEXT_SWITCHES, SW_MIGRATIONS and the tie-in with tracepoints.
+ *
+ * We typically don't need a full set, but (for x86) do require:
* - ip for PERF_SAMPLE_IP
* - cs for user_mode() tests
- * - bp for callchains
- * - eflags, for future purposes, just in case
+ * - sp for PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN
+ * - eflags for MISC bits and CALLCHAIN (see: perf_hw_regs())
+ *
+ * NOTE: assumes @regs is otherwise already 0 filled; this is important for
+ * things like PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR.
