[PATCH 0/5] perf: Fixes for callchain ip handling and related tests

From: Sandipan Das
Date: Tue Jul 10 2018 - 09:58:28 EST


The first two patches fix the callchain ip filtering mechanism for
powerpc from skipping entries unecessarily by checking the status of
a function's return address in the stack.

The third patch fixes a shell test that fails on powerpc due to a
mismatch in the expected perf script output.

The fourth and fifth patches are generic fixes for the same shell
test.

Hi Arnaldo,

This series has fixes for the inet_pton shell test and depends
on the following patches from Kim Phillips:

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/29/570
[2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/29/568

I did see that you had replied saying that you have applied
these patches to your tree but I still do not see the changes
in the 'perf/core' and 'perf/urgent' branches. Assuming that
you would be pushing these changes, I applied Kim's patches
to my local tree manually before I started working on this
series.
