File perf-c2c-add-option-to-enable-the-lbr-stitching-approach.patch of Package perf
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2020 13:25:16 -0700 Subject: perf c2c: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach Git-commit: d80da766d181555d0c846298b8c619c384c7d179 Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1 References: jsc#SLE-12718 With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples with stitched LBRs are huge. Add an option to enable the approach.
