ARM64 perf stacktraces on tracepoint events

Hi,

On 3.18 kernel running on an arm64 device, I tried running:
perf record -a -g -e sched:sched_wakeup

I was expecting something like the output at:
www.brendangregg.com/perf.html

But I don't see stacktraces, could I be missing any patches you could
point me to? I do see stack traces if I do regular perf profiling
(perf record -F 99 -a -g).

Below is the output I get. Thanks for any insight into this.

Regards,
Joel
