[PATCH] ARM: perf: Implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs

[Jed Davis]

We need a perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs for at least some software events
to be able to get a callchain; even user stacks won't work without
at least the CPSR bits for non-user-mode (see perf_callchain).  In
particular, profiling context switches needs this.

This records the state of the point at which perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
is expanded, instead of that function activation's call site, because we
need SP and PC to be consistent for EHABI unwinding; hopefully nothing
will be inconvenienced by the extra stack frame.
