[ Upstream commit cfa7f3d2c526c224a6271cc78a4a27a0de06f4f0 ] When tracing user functions with uprobe functionality, it's common to install the probe (e.g., a BPF program) at the first instruction of the function. This is often going to be `push %rbp` instruction in function preamble, which means that within that function frame pointer hasn't been established yet. This leads to consistently missing an actual caller of the traced function, because perf_callchain_user() only records current IP (capturing traced function) and then following frame pointer chain (which would be caller's frame, containing the address of caller's caller). So when we have target_1 -> target_2 -> target_3 call chain and we are tracing an entry to target_3, captured stack trace will report target_1 -> target_3 call chain, which is wrong and confusing. This patch proposes a x86-64-specific heuristic to detect `push %rbp` (`push %ebp` on 32-bit architecture) instruction being traced. Given entire kernel implementation of user space stack trace capturing works under assumption that user space code was compiled with frame pointer register (%rbp/%ebp) preservation, it seems pretty reasonable to use this instruction as a strong indicator that this is the entry to the function. In that case, return address is still pointed to by %rsp/%esp, so we fetch it and add to stack trace before proceeding to unwind the rest using frame pointer-based logic. We also check for `endbr64` (for 64-bit modes) as another common pattern for function entry, as suggested by Josh Poimboeuf. Even if we get this wrong sometimes for uprobes attached not at the function entry, it's OK because stack trace will still be overall meaningful, just with one extra bogus entry. If we don't detect this, we end up with guaranteed to be missing caller function entry in the stack trace, which is worse overall.
