Paul Mackerras 9eff26ea48 powerpc/perf_events: Fix call-graph recording, add perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
This implements a powerpc version of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
to get correct call-graphs.

It's implemented in assembly because that way we can be sure there isn't
a stack frame for perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs.  If it was in C, gcc might
or might not create a stack frame for it, which would affect the number
of levels we have to skip.

With this, we see results from perf record -e lock:lock_acquire like
this:
