So this split-out looks great to me!
A bit of a background: this series is a necessary precondition of me being able
to
merge 'stacktool' and the frame pointer handling enhancements Josh is working
on -
but it would be nice if this could all be done via Arnaldo's perf tree to
minimize
any impact on pending perf work.
I've Cc:-ed Namhyung and Jiri as well, who've done a lot of work in perf/util/.
Thanks,
Ingo
