Sandipan Das b2b5343639 perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering when return address is in a register 
[ Upstream commit 9068533e4f ]

For powerpc64, perf will filter out the second entry in the callchain,
i.e. the LR value, if the return address of the function corresponding
to the probed location has already been saved on its caller's stack.

The state of the return address is determined using debug information.
At any point within a function, if the return address is already saved
somewhere, a DWARF expression can tell us about its location. If the
return address in still in LR only, no DWARF expression would exist.

Typically, the instructions in a function's prologue first copy the LR
value to R0 and then pushes R0 on to the stack. If LR has already been
copied to R0 but R0 is yet to be pushed to the stack, we can still get a
DWARF expression that says that the return address is in R0. This is
indicating that getting a DWARF expression for the return address does
not guarantee the fact that it has already been saved on the stack.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
