MIPS, Perf-events: Work with the new callchain interface
This is the MIPS part of the following commits by Frederic Weisbecker: - f72c1a93 perf: Factorize callchain context handling Store the kernel and user contexts from the generic layer instead of archs, this gathers some repetitive code. - 56962b44 perf: Generalize some arch callchain code - Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer() implementation that x86 overrides. - Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel() That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so... - Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src). - 70791ce9 perf: Generalize callchain_store() callchain_store() is the same on every archs, inline it in perf_event.h and rename it to perf_callchain_store() to avoid any collision. This removes repetitive code. - c1a65932 perf: Drop unappropriate tests on arch callchains Drop the TASK_RUNNING test on user tasks for callchains as this check doesn't seem to make any sense. Also remove the tests for !current that is not supposed to happen and current->pid as this should be handled at the generic level, with exclude_idle attribute.
