[ 03/95] perf: arm64: Record the user-mode PC in the call chain.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jun 25 2013 - 15:15:54 EST


3.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jed Davis <jld@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit abc41254181e901ef5eda2c884ca6cd88a186b6d 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,
and the corresponding change in arch/arm.
