[PATCH RESEND 3/3] MIPS: oprofile: backtrace: don't fail on leaf functions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Continue the backtrace if we cannot find SP adjustment and RA save. In
that case, just assume the current RA. This allows us to get samples of
frequent callers of e.g. GLIBC memset().
