From a1d9972e59e15538458c030affbfc298c32a47f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ravi Bangoria Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2016 15:57:45 +0530 Subject: perf uretprobe ppc64le: Fix probe location Perf uretprobe probes on GEP(Global Entry Point) which fails to record all function calls via LEP(Local Entry Point). Fix that by probing on LEP.
