Daan De Meyer and Neal Gompa reported that s390 does not support perf user stack unwinding. This was never implemented since this requires user space to be compiled with the -mbackchain compile option, which until now no distribution did. However this is going to change with Fedora. Therefore provide a perf_callchain_user() implementation. Note that due to the way s390 sets up stack frames the provided call chains can contain invalid values. This is especially true for the first stack frame, where it is not possible to tell if the return address has been written to the stack already or not.

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.
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.
