[PATCH 5.14 134/432] powerpc/perf: Fix the check for SIAR value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Kajol Jain <kjain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3c69a5f22223fa3e312689ec218b5059784d49d7 ]

Incase of random sampling, there can be scenarios where
Sample Instruction Address Register(SIAR) may not latch
to the sampled instruction and could result in
the value of 0. In these scenarios it is preferred to
return regs->nip. These corner cases are seen in the
previous generation (p9) also.

Patch adds the check for SIAR value along with regs_use_siar
and siar_valid checks so that the function will return
regs->nip incase SIAR is zero.

Patch drops the code under PPMU_P10_DD1 flag check
which handles SIAR 0 case only for Power10 DD1.

Fixes: 2ca13a4cc56c9 ("powerpc/perf: Use regs->nip when SIAR is zero")
