x86: Save rbp in pt_regs on irq entry
From the x86_64 low level interrupt handlers, the frame pointer is saved right after the partial pt_regs frame. rbp is not supposed to be part of the irq partial saved registers, but it only requires to extend the pt_regs frame by 8 bytes to do so, plus a tiny stack offset fixup on irq exit. This changes a bit the semantics or get_irq_entry() that is supposed to provide only the value of caller saved registers and the cpu saved frame. However it's a win for unwinders that can walk through stack frames on top of get_irq_regs() snapshots. A noticeable impact is that it makes perf events cpu-clock and task-clock events based callchains working on x86_64. Let's then save rbp into the irq pt_regs. As a result with: perf record -e cpu-clock perf bench sched messaging perf report --stdio Before: 20.94% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] lock_acquire | --- lock_acquire | |--44.01%-- __write_nocancel | |--43.18%-- __read | |--6.08%-- fork | create_worker | |--0.88%-- _dl_fixup | |--0.65%-- do_lookup_x | |--0.53%-- __GI___libc_read --4.67%-- [...] After: 19.23% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __lock_acquire | --- __lock_acquire | |--97.74%-- lock_acquire | | | |--21.82%-- _raw_spin_lock | | | | | |--37.26%-- unix_stream_recvmsg | | | sock_aio_read | | | do_sync_read | | | vfs_read | | | sys_read | | | system_call | | | __read | | | | | |--24.09%-- unix_stream_sendmsg | | | sock_aio_write | | | do_sync_write | | | vfs_write | | | sys_write | | | system_call | | | __write_nocancel v2: Fix cfi annotations.
