Hi Peter, Josh,

Found following bug. This bug can not be seen with this fix: 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/10/280.

Here unwind_next_frame+0x463 is pointing at: "*ip = regs->ip;" in 
deref_stack_iret_regs().

And where the previous unwinder only needed BP,SP ORC also requires
IP. But we cannot spoof IP because then the sample will get displaced,
entirely negating the point of PEBS.

So cure the whole thing differently by doing the unwind early; this
does however require a means to communicate we did the unwind early.
We (ab)use an unused sample_type bit for this, which we set on events
that fill out the data->callchain before the normal
perf_prepare_sample().

Given the kbuild test robot errors for building on 32-bit, looks like
the 63 needs to be changed to 31 so it fits in an int?

I made it 1ULL << 63. The actual field (perf_event_attr::sample_type is
u64).

The above change makes sparse unhappy :-( Sparse reports the following
complaint about __PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY:

./include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h:147:56: warning: cast truncates bits
from constant value (8000000000000000 becomes 0)

Is the above change portable? Isn't a compiler allowed to use 'int' to
represent an enumeration type?

Fubo.

I thought I changed that to 1ULL before commit.

The sparse complaint was reported for code with the "1ULL << 63".

Ah ok.. and I think I see what you mean. The C standard says that enums
shall be 'int'. However C++ standard says any integer type that fits the
largest value.

I suppose GCC uses the C++ definition and I suspect many other compilers
will too.

Do you think the patch below is sufficient to suppress the sparse warning?

Why would I want to make the code ugly to supress it?

There are many kernel developers who use sparse to verify the
correctness of endianness annotations (__be32, __le32, ...). When
compiling kernel code with sparse every warning that is reported by
sparse should be analyzed. Most kernel developers consider it annoying
having to deal with false positive warnings. So I think that is useful
to suppress false positive sparse warnings if it is possible to
suppress false positives with a reasonable effort.

Thanks,

Fubo.

Last time I used sparse there were a metric ton of warnings. I really
can't be bothered about one more. Maybe fix sparse if you're bothered?
