Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf annotate: Treat 'call' instruction as stack operation
Date: Mon,  9 Sep 2024 14:42:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240909214251.3033827-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

I found some portion of mem-store events sampled on CALL instruction
which has no memory access.  But it actually saves a return address
into stack.  It should be considered as a stack operation like RET
instruction.
