Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 22:26:16 -0700 Message-Id: <20130719052603.898094944@linuxfoundation.org> In-Reply-To: <20130719052559.852627424@linuxfoundation.org> References: <20130719052559.852627424@linuxfoundation.org> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jed Davis commit c5f927a6f62196226915f12194c9d0df4e2210d7 upstream. 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.
