Ah, I didn't see the magic CALLER_ADDR() usage there. I guess I could
pass that into this function too. But I think you had a fix for this,
so I'll wait.

I did a couple of git greps and found this:
$ git grep perf_trace_buf_submit
include/linux/ftrace_event.h:perf_trace_buf_submit(void *raw_data, int size,
int rctx, u64 addr,
include/trace/ftrace.h: perf_trace_buf_submit(entry, __entry_size, rctx,
__addr, \
kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c: perf_trace_buf_submit(entry,
ENTRY_SIZE, rctx, 0,
kernel/trace/trace_kprobe.c: perf_trace_buf_submit(entry, size, rctx, 0, 1,
regs, head, NULL);
kernel/trace/trace_kprobe.c: perf_trace_buf_submit(entry, size, rctx, 0, 1,
regs, head, NULL);
kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c: perf_trace_buf_submit(rec, size, rctx, 0, 1,
regs, head, NULL);
kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c: perf_trace_buf_submit(rec, size, rctx, 0, 1,
regs, head, NULL);
kernel/trace/trace_uprobe.c: perf_trace_buf_submit(entry, size, rctx, 0, 1,
regs, head, NULL);
$ git grep perf_tp_event
include/linux/ftrace_event.h: perf_tp_event(addr, count, raw_data, size,
regs, head, rctx, task);
include/linux/perf_event.h:extern void perf_tp_event(u64 addr, u64 count, void
*record,
kernel/events/core.c:static int perf_tp_event_match(struct perf_event *event,
kernel/events/core.c:void perf_tp_event(u64 addr, u64 count, void *record, int
entry_size,
kernel/events/core.c: if (perf_tp_event_match(event, &data, regs))
kernel/events/core.c: if (perf_tp_event_match(event, &data,
regs))
kernel/events/core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(perf_tp_event);
kernel/events/core.c:static int perf_tp_event_init(struct perf_event *event)
kernel/events/core.c: .event_init = perf_tp_event_init,
As perf_tp_event() is only used internally, should we just rename it to
perf_trace_buf_submit, and remove the static inline of it?

Yeah, looks like this can have a bigger clean up.
I think I'll just put my first three patches in my 3.15 queue, and we
can work on fixing the perf code for 3.16.
