Just a quick question: Have you guys applied my recent patch:

commit 5ea0416f51cc93436bbe497c62ab49fd9cb245b6

    perf report: Include partial stacks unwound with libdw
    
    So far the whole stack was thrown away when any error occurred before
    the maximum stack depth was unwound. This is actually a very common
    scenario though. The stacks that got unwound so far are still
    interesting. This removes a large chunk of differences when comparing
    perf script output for libunwind and libdw perf unwinding.

If not, then this could explain the issue you are seeing.
Thanks! No, I didn't have that patch (*) yet. It makes a huge
difference. With that, Paolo's patch and the elfutils libdw powerpc64
fallback unwinder patch, it looks like I get user stack traces for
everything now on ppc64le.
Can I take that as a Tested-by: you?
Sure.
Tested-by: Mark Wielaard <redacted>

Thanks,

Mark
