LBR only collect the user call stack. To reconstruct a call stack, both
kernel call stack and user call stack are required. The function
resolve_lbr_callchain_sample() mix the kernel call stack and user call
stack.
Now, with the help of HW idx, perf tool can reconstruct a more complete
call stack by adding some user call stack from previous sample. However,
current implementation is hard to be extended to support it.
Current code path for resolve_lbr_callchain_sample()
for (j = 0; j < mix_chain_nr; j++) {
if (ORDER_CALLEE) {
if (kernel callchain)
Fill callchain info
else if (LBR callchain)
Fill callchain info
} else {
if (LBR callchain)
Fill callchain info
else if (kernel callchain)
Fill callchain info
}
add_callchain_ip();
}
With the patch,
if (ORDER_CALLEE) {
for (j = 0; j < NUM of kernel callchain) {
Fill callchain info
add_callchain_ip();
}
for (; j < mix_chain_nr) {
Fill callchain info
add_callchain_ip();
}
} else {
for (; j < NUM of LBR callchain) {
Fill callchain info
add_callchain_ip();
}
for (j = 0; j < mix_chain_nr) {
Fill callchain info
add_callchain_ip();
}
}
No functional changes.

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.
