Subject: [BUG] arm: perf probe can not get __copy_to_user callchain symbol

Hi

In ARM, It seems that we cannot get __copy_to_user callchain symbol,
like below output,

I guess it due to function __copy_to_user don't compile with unwind
info, is this right?(not sure)

If the problem is relate with unwind info, is there anybody can make a
patch on this? I'm not familiar with unwind stuff very much.
thanks very much.
