Perf works for me with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y, but that's only for kernel
space, and for userspace where the programs have been built for ARM mode
with frame pointers.

The kernel may work without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER set, but I've never
tested that, and I'd suggest that (given my experience looking at oops
dumps) it's not all that reliable.

Lastly, userspace without frame pointers is pretty much hopeless.
