thread_stack__event() is used to create call stacks, by keeping track of
calls and returns. Improve the handling of trace begin / end to allow
for a trace that ends in a call.
Previously, the Intel PT decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch
from / to zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a
trace ends with a call. Before remedying that, enhance the thread stack
so that it does not expect to see the 'return' for a 'call' that ends
the trace.
Committer notes:
Added this:
return thread_stack__push(thread->ts, ret_addr,
- flags && PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_END);
+ flags & PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_END);

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
