This patchset extend the perf sample regs infrastructure to include architecture specific regs. Current perf_sample_regs_intr exports only registers in the pt_regs to perf.data using PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR sample type. But sometimes we end up looking for or prefer raw register values at the interrupt during debug.
This patchset extends the perf_regs to include arch specific struct, and makes perf_sample_regs_intr in kernel/event/core.c as __weak__ function. This way, an arch specific implementation of perf_sample_regs_intr() can update the arch specific data to the perf_regs.
First patch defines a new structure arch_misc_reg and updates the same in the struct perf_regs. Patch also modifies the perf_reg_value() and perf_output_sample_regs() to take perf_regs parameter instead of pt_regs.
Second patch updates struct arch_misc_reg for arch/powerpc with pmu registers and adds offsetof macro for the same. It extends perf_reg_value() to use reg idx to decide on struct to return value from.
Third patch adds arch specific perf_sample_regs_intr() in arch/powerpc to hook up the arch_misc_regs to perf_regs.
This patchset depends on the recent posting by Anju T in linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org to enable PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR support in arch/powerpc.
