SubjectRe: [PATCH] ARM64: perf: support dwarf unwinding in compat mode
From
Hi Will,

Here is an updated version of the change, which uses compat_sp at only
one place.
The drawback is that compat_user_mode is checked when calling
compat_user_stack_pointer, which seems unnecessary. Unfortunately the
check is not optimized out by the complier as I could check with
objdump -S.

What do you think?
