Subject: [PATCH] perf: x86: fix callgraphs of 32-bit processes on 64-bit kernels.
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:34:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268667260-5505-2-git-send-email-edwintorok@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1268667260-5505-1-git-send-email-edwintorok@gmail.com>

When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing
stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory address
(tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a 64-bit pointer).

Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the TIF_IA32 flag is set.

Note that TIF_IA32 flag must be used, and not is_compat_task(), because the
latter is only set when the 32-bit process is executing a syscall,
which may not always be the case (when tracing page fault events for example).
