    Subject[ 59/72] ARM: 7765/1: perf: Record the user-mode PC in the call chain.
    Date
    3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Jed Davis <jld@mozilla.com>

    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.
