powerpc: tracing: Add powerpc tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit
This adds powerpc-specific tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit. While we already have generic irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit tracepoints there are cases on our virtualised powerpc machines where an interrupt is presented to the OS, but subsequently handled by the hypervisor. This means no OS interrupt handler is invoked. Here is an example on a POWER6 machine with the patch below applied: <idle>-0 [006] 3243.949840744: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10 <idle>-0 [006] 3243.949850520: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10 <idle>-0 [007] 3243.950218208: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10 <idle>-0 [007] 3243.950224080: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021879320: irq_entry: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021883616: irq_handler_entry: irq=87 handler=eth0 <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021887328: irq_handler_exit: irq=87 return=handled <idle>-0 [000] 3244.021897408: irq_exit: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0 Here we see two phantom interrupts (no handler was invoked), followed by a real interrupt for eth0. Without the tracepoints in this patch we would have missed the phantom interrupts.
