Fedora and Ubuntu have now returned frame pointers, which is great news. People should start running these releases in 2024 and will find that CPU flame graphs make more sense, Off-CPU flame graphs work for the first time, and other new things become possible. It's also a win for continuous profilers, as they don't need to convince their customers to make OS changes to get profiles to fully work.
As you can see, this debugging session would benefit from those greatly.

Unrelated: can I start lobbying a CFLAG -fno-omit-frame-pointer, at least on x86_64-linux? So I don't need to do such partial hacks. Some background reading by Brendan Gregg. We tend to use debuginfo for this instead | 08:57:01 |
| motiejus | Can you elaborate? | 09:07:19 |
| K900 | We have debuginfo for most hot path packages | 10:00:19 |
| K900 | And you can use that with perf to get proper unwinding without frame pointers | 10:00:33 |
