Subject: [PATCH 6/7] perf, x86: Use LBR call stack to get user callchain
From: "Yan, Zheng" <zheng.z.yan@...el.com>
Try enabling the LBR call stack feature if event request recording
callchain. Try utilizing the LBR call stack to get user callchain
in case of there is no frame pointer.
This patch also adds a cpu pmu attribute to enable/disable this
feature.
