Hi Ari,

Always allow backtrace when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU
isn't present.

Restores functionality originally introduced in
1b7b56982fdcd9d85effd76f3928cf5d6eb26155 by Richard Purdie.

Well spotted, I'd forgotten we still want this for timer mode.

Can you reorder the backtrace stuff so that we don't need the extra
#endif/#ifdef please?

I would like to go even further, see the diff below.

Thanks for comments, I can prepare a new patch. I think your patch below has two typos but the idea was clear, please see comments below.

I guess you mean oprofile_perf_init and oprofile_perf_exit?

Also the user_backtrace and frame_tail need to be moved out from the #ifdef.
