From: jld@mozilla.com (Jed Davis) Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:21:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf: ARM: Record the user-mode PC in the call chain. Message-ID: <20130613232111.GA12536@mozilla.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org With this change, we no longer lose the innermost entry in the user-mode part of the call chain. See also the x86 port, which includes the ip. It's possible to partially work around this problem by post-processing the data to use the PERF_SAMPLE_IP value, but this works only if the CPU wasn't in the kernel when the sample was taken.
