      powerpc: Implement save_stack_trace_regs() to enable kprobe stack tracing · 35de3b1a
      Steven Rostedt authored
      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.
