Tiezhu Yang 1ddc96bd42 MIPS: kernel: Support extracting off-line stack traces from user-space with perf
Add perf_event_mips_regs/perf_reg_value/perf_reg_validate to support
features HAVE_PERF_REGS/HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP in kernel.

[ayan@wavecomp.com: Repick this patch for unwinding userstack backtrace
 by perf and libunwind on MIPS based CPU.]

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Add perf_get_regs_user() which is required after
'commit 88a7c26af8 ("perf: Move task_pt_regs sampling into arch code")'.]

[yangtiezhu@loongson.cn: Fix build error about perf_get_regs_user() after
commit 76a4efa809 ("perf/arch: Remove perf_sample_data::regs_user_copy"),
and also separate the original patches into two parts (MIPS kernel and perf
tools) to merge easily.]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
