I've got a new report on commit
a200dcb34693084e56496960d855afdeaaf9578f  (Jan 18).
Here is unprocessed version:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/428a0c9bfaa867d8ce84/raw/0754db31668602ad07947f9964238b2f9cf63315/gistfile1.txt
and here is processed one:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/42b874213de82d94c35e/raw/2bbced252035821243678de0112e2ed3a766fb5d/gistfile1.txt

Peter, what exactly is wrong with the post-processed version? I would
be interested in fixing the processing script.

As far as I see it contains the same stacks just with line numbers and
inlined frames. I am using a significantly different compilation mode
(kasan + kcov + very recent gcc), so nobody except me won't be able to
figure out line numbers based on offsets.
