Here is what I have when profiling 32bit process on the patched 64bit
kernel w/o 32bit frame-pointer exposure:
vmlinux ! try_to_wake_up - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! wake_up_q + 0x3e - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! futex_wake + 0x141 - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! do_futex + 0x49b - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! compat_SyS_futex + 0x123 - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! do_fast_syscall_32 + 0xb9 - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! entry_SYSENTER_compat + 0x7e - [unknown source file]
==> [vdso] ! __kernel_vsyscall + 0x8 - [unknown source file]
==> libc-2.26.so ! syscall + 0x26 - [unknown source file]
==> futex32-fp ! main + 0xba - [unknown source file]
==> libc-2.26.so ! __libc_start_main + 0xf2 - [unknown source file]
so stack is unwound till the top. However if I enable 32bit exposure
then the stack looks like this:
vmlinux ! try_to_wake_up - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! wake_up_q + 0x3e - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! futex_wake + 0x141 - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! do_futex + 0x49b - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! compat_SyS_futex + 0x123 - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! do_fast_syscall_32 + 0xb9 - [unknown source file]
vmlinux ! entry_SYSENTER_compat + 0x7e - [unknown source file]
==> [vdso] ! [vdso] + 0x1058 - [unknown source file]
==> vmlinux ! [Skipped stack frame(s)] + 0x1 - [unknown source file]
and x86_64 perf report --stdio shows this:
...
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported

I am not sure it is worth exposing frame pointer for 32bit too.
