/*
 * Implementation of void perf_regs_load(u64 *regs);
 *
 * This functions fills in the 'regs' buffer from the actual registers values,
 * in the way the perf built-in unwinding test expects them:
 * - the PC at the time at the call to this function. Since this function
 *   is called using a bl instruction, the PC value is taken from LR.
 * The built-in unwinding test then unwinds the call stack from the dwarf
 * information in unwind__get_entries.
 *
 * Notes:
 * - the 8 bytes stride in the registers offsets comes from the fact
 * that the registers are stored in an u64 array (u64 *regs),
 * - the regs buffer needs to be zeroed before the call to this function,
 * in this case using a calloc in dwarf-unwind.c.
