Was this split up into small groups and sent again? I didn't see anything when searching lkml.

IIRC, there have a concern for a pontential breakage for perf cs-etm testing, so falls to backlog. Let me check with Mathieu/Mike offline for how to proceed for this patch set. Thanks for bringing up. Leo
This patch series adds support for thread stack and callchain; this patch set depends on the instruction sample fix patch set [1]. This patch set get more complex, so before divide into small groups, I'd like to use this patch set version to include all relevant patches, hope this can give whole context for related code change. Briefly, this patch can be divided into three parts, which also can be reviewed separately for every part: Patches 01, 02 are used to fix samples for one corner case is for accessing the branch's target address and trigger an exception. Essentially, an extra branch sample is added to reflect this mediate branch between the previous branch and exception entry. Patches 03, 04, 05, 06 are coming from patch v4, which are used to support thread stack and callchain. Patches 07, 08, 09 are used to fixup for exception entry and exit. This is mainly used to fix two cases, one part is to fixup the thread stack and callchain for the case when access branch target address and trigger exception; another part is to fixup the thread stack for instruction emulation (and other single step cases). This patch set has been tested on Juno-r2 after applied on perf/core branch with latest commit 85fc95d75970 ("perf maps: Add missing unlock to maps__insert() error case"), and this patch set is also applied on top of instruction sample fix patch set [1].
