[RFC PATCH 4/6] powerpc/perf: Include traced function in the callchain

From: Naveen N. Rao
Date: Fri May 21 2021 - 02:50:09 EST


With -mprofile-kernel and ppc32, the function tracer is invoked before a
function sets up its own stackframe. This results in the traced function
not appearing in stack traces. Fix this by checking for ftrace entry and
including the traced function in the perf callchain.
