Now that almost three years have passed, the only reasonable thing to do is resend the patches rebased against the current kernel. That said, given the fact that stackframe analysis is not reliable, coupled with the fact that we have DWARF based unwinding of userspace threads working in perf with captured stack images, makes me think that the patches should not be merged.
