This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ARM: 7765/1: perf: Record the user-mode PC in the call chain. to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 92dbdc89d38ed038f66d3ac69c96f725526637f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jed Davis <jld@mozilla.com> Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:16:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7765/1: perf: Record the user-mode PC in the call chain. 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.
