perf not capturing stack traces

[Felipe Balbi]

Hi,

I'm using v3.19-rc5 on an ARM Cortex A9 board. Unfortunately, perf is
not able to capture any stack traces even though I CONFIG_STACKTRACE,
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER and CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND all enabled.

I wonder if anybody else is facing similar issues.

Here's console grab:

perf record -e 'sched:*' -ag sleep 5  && perf report --stdio
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.092 MB perf.data (~4024 samples) ]
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only option
