Subject: Strange reports of perf events on powerpc 83xx

Hi,

Has anybody already used 'perf' tool on powerpc MPC83xx ?

I have been succesfully using perf on MPC8xx, but on MPC83xx I get 
something strange.

perf record/report reports addresses on user stack, as if it was mixing 
up D accesses and I accesses.

Any idea of what the problem can be ?
