[PATCH 3/4] ARM64: perf: add support for frame pointer unwinding in compat mode

Wed Jan 22 09:11:18 EST 2014


When profiling a 32-bit application, user space callchain unwinding
using the frame pointer is performed in compat mode. The code is taken
over from the AARCH32 code and adapted to work on AARCH64.
