The LBR stitch approach should be disabled by default. Because - The stitching approach base on LBR call stack technology. The known limitations of LBR call stack technology still apply to the approach, e.g. Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not match. - This approach is not foolproof. There can be cases where it creates incorrect call stacks from incorrect matches. There is no attempt to validate any matches in another way. The 'lbr_stitch_enable' is used to indicate whether enable LBR stitch approach, which is disabled by default. The following patch will introduce a new option for each tools to enable the LBR stitch approach.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
