At present the values we put in overflow events for the misc flags indicating processor mode and the instruction pointer are obtained using the standard user_mode() and instruction_pointer() functions. Those functions tell you where the performance monitor interrupt was taken, which might not be exactly where the counter overflow occurred, for example because interrupts were disabled at the point where the overflow occurred, or because the processor had many instructions in flight and chose to complete some more instructions beyond the one that caused the counter overflow. Some architectures (e.g. powerpc) can supply more precise information about where the counter overflow occurred and the processor mode at that point. This introduces new functions, perf_misc_flags() and perf_instruction_pointer(), which arch code can override to provide more precise information if available. They have default implementations which are identical to the existing code. This also adds a new misc flag value, PERF_EVENT_MISC_HYPERVISOR, for the case where a counter overflow occurred in the hypervisor. We encode the processor mode in the 2 bits previously used to indicate user or kernel mode; the values for user and kernel mode are unchanged and hypervisor mode is indicated by both bits being set.
