I have installed your perf/core tree on my Fedora 27 Virtual Machine running on my Intel notebook. Here are some commands and the output on an Intel platform: [root@f27 perf]# uname -a Linux f27 4.15.0-rc6acme+ #1 SMP Mon Jan 15 12:35:23 CET 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@f27 perf]# [root@f27 perf]# ./perf trace --no-syscalls --call-graph fp --max-stack 3 -e probe_libc:inet_pton ping -6 -c 1 ::1 PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.022 ms 0.000 probe_libc:inet_pton: --- ::1 ping statistics --- (7f8fc407d8a0)) 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.022/0.022/0.022/0.000 ms [root@f27 perf]# --> No call graph at all, the kernel as been compiled with ORC unwinder.

I have the feeling that your fix does not work very well when used with the --no-syscalls option. Omitting --no-syscalls shows your explained behavior. So there must be a difference between --no-syscalls and --syscalls invocation. -- Thomas Richter, Dept 3303, IBM LTC Boeblingen Germany -- Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrats: Martina Koederitz Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen / Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294
