[PATCH 1/8] perf arm64: Send pointer auth masks to ring buffer

Andrew Kilroy andrew.kilroy at arm.com
Mon Jul 4 07:53:25 PDT 2022


Perf report cannot produce callgraphs using dwarf on arm64 where pointer
authentication is enabled.  This is because libunwind and libdw cannot
unmangle instruction pointers that have a pointer authentication code
(PAC) embedded in them.

libunwind and libdw need to be given an instruction mask which they can
use to arrive at the correct return address that does not contain the
PAC.

The bits in the return address that contain the PAC can differ by
process, so this patch adds a new sample field PERF_SAMPLE_ARCH_1
to allow the kernel to send the masks up to userspace perf.

This field can be used in a architecture specific fashion, but on
aarch64, it contains the ptrauth mask information.
