arm64: perf: Fix callchain parse error with kernel tracepoint events
For ARM64, when tracing with tracepoint events, the IP and pstate are set
to 0, preventing the perf code parsing the callchain and resolving the
symbols correctly.
./perf record -e sched:sched_switch -g --call-graph dwarf ls
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.146 MB perf.data ]
./perf report -f
Samples: 194 of event 'sched:sched_switch', Event count (approx.): 194
Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
100.00% 100.00% ls [unknown] [.] 0000000000000000
The fix is to implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs for ARM64, which fills
several necessary registers used for callchain unwinding, including pc,sp,
fp and spsr .
With this patch, callchain can be parsed correctly as follows:
......

+ 2.63% 0.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] follow_down

+ 2.63% 0.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_execveat_common.isra.33
