[ Upstream commit c715fcfda5a08edabaa15508742be926b7ee51db ]
For powerpc64, redundant entries in the callchain are filtered out by determining the state of the return address and the stack frame using DWARF debug information.
For making these filtering decisions we must analyze the debug information for the location corresponding to the program counter value, i.e. the first entry in the callchain, and not the LR value; otherwise, perf may filter out either the second or the third entry in the callchain incorrectly.
This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown below.
Case 1 - Attaching a probe at inet_pton+0x8 (binary offset 0x15af28). Return address is still in LR and a new stack frame is not yet allocated. The LR value, i.e. the second entry, should not be filtered out.

Case 2 - Attaching a probe at _int_malloc+0x180 (binary offset 0x9cf10). Return address in still in LR and a new stack frame has already been allocated but not used. The caller's caller, i.e. the third entry, is invalid and should be filtered out and not the second one.
