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 reStructuredText 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.

With commit d3119bc9 ("LoongArch: Fix callchain parse error with kernel tracepoint events"), perf can parse kernel callchain, but not complete and sometimes maybe error. The reason is LoongArch's unwinders (guess, prologue and orc) don't really need fp (i.e., regs[22]), and they use sp (i.e., regs[3]) as the frame address rather than the current stack pointer. Fix that by removing the assignment of regs[22], and instead assign the __builtin_frame_address(0) to regs[3].
