* perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker2009-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

* x86, 32-bit: fix kernel_trap_sp()Masami Hiramatsu2009-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use &regs->sp instead of regs for getting the top of stack in kernel mode.

* x86: rename stack_pointer to kernel_trap_spHarvey Harrison2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | Choose a less generic name for such a special case. Add a comment explaining the odd use in X86_32. Change the one user of stack_pointer.

* x86: pull bp calculation earlier into the backtrace pathArjan van de Ven2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace functions on the stack with bp based backtracing). This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer; sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack, but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.

* x86: add the capability to print fuzzy backtracesArjan van de Ven2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to print the unreliable ones slightly different. This patch adds the basic capability, the next patch will add a user of this capability.

* x86: rename the struct pt_regs members for 32/64-bit consistencyH. Peter Anvin2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side. This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional places that might be candidates for unification in the future. Signed-off-by: H.

* x86: introduce frame_pointer() and stack_pointer()Jan Blunck2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch defines frame_pointer() and stack_pointer() similar to the already defined instruction_pointer(). Thus the oprofile code can be written in a more readable fashion.

* i386: make callgraph use dump_trace() on i386/x86_64Jan Blunck2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch improves oprofile callgraphs for i386/x86_64. The old backtracing code was unable to produce kernel backtraces if the kernel wasn't compiled with framepointers. The code now uses dump_trace().
