Wouldn't it make sense to include your related perf (tools) series [1]
in that branch to ease testing?  Provided you also include the minor
fix [2] to make perf tools work. :-)

Additionally it would make sense to include the patches from Josh that
add SFrame information to the vDSO on x86 [3].

[1]: [PATCH v12 00/11] perf: Support the deferred unwinding infrastructure,

[3]: [PATCH v6 0/6] x86/vdso: VDSO updates and fixes for sframes,

Does PR_SET_VMA [4] create a precedent case for the SFrame prctls?
