After reading your commit description and looking at the code I think the
s390 implementation of perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() is at least
suboptimal: it is not possible to tell if an address belongs to user or
kernel space by looking only at the address (psw.addr); this also requires
to look at psw.mask. It _looks_ like all current callers of
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() initialize the passed in pt_regs to zero,
which of course also sets psw.mask to zero, and therefore
user_mode(regs) == false is satisfied.
However I'd rather make that explicit and don't want to rely on
callers. Therefore the above arch_ftrace_fill_perf_regs() should
set the mask to zero
(_regs)->psw.mask = 0;
I will change perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() accordingly.
