Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64: Set task pt_regs->link to the LR value on scv
 entry

Nysal reported that userspace backtraces are missing in offcputime bcc
tool. As an example:
    $ sudo ./bcc/tools/offcputime.py -uU
    Tracing off-CPU time (us) of user threads by user stack... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

    ^C
	write
	-                python (9107)
	    8

	write
	-                sudo (9105)
	    9

	mmap
	-                python (9107)
	    16

	clock_nanosleep
	-                multipathd (697)
	    3001604

The offcputime bcc tool attaches a bpf program to a kprobe on
finish_task_switch(), which is usually hit on a syscall from userspace.
With the switch to system call vectored, we started setting
pt_regs->link to zero. This is because system call vectored behaves like
a function call with LR pointing to the system call return address, and
with no modification to SRR0/SRR1. The LR value does indicate our next
instruction, so it is being saved as pt_regs->nip, and pt_regs->link is
being set to zero. This is not a problem by itself, but BPF uses perf
callchain infrastructure for capturing stack traces, and that stores LR
as the second entry in the stack trace. perf has code to cope with the
second entry being zero, and skips over it. However, generic userspace
unwinders assume that a zero entry indicates end of the stack trace,
resulting in a truncated userspace stack trace.

Rather than fixing all userspace unwinders to ignore/skip past the
second entry, store the real LR value in pt_regs->link so that there
continues to be a valid, though duplicate entry in the stack trace.

With this change:
    $ sudo ./bcc/tools/offcputime.py -uU
    Tracing off-CPU time (us) of user threads by user stack... Hit Ctrl-C to end.
