Nothing specific to JITs here. Any time an app has two stacks S1 and S2
(with S1 at a lower address and S2 at a higher address) and %rsp at the
time of a perf event is pointing to S2, we don't get traces beyond S2.

S2: 0x2000000 | | <-- %rsp

| frame2 |

S1: 0x1000000 | frame1 |

gdb is able to show:
(gdb) bt
<frame at 0x2000000>
frame1
frame2
frame3
frame4
..
just fine.
In our use case, there may be multiple transitions between S1 and S2.
For eg: frame4 could be on S2 (i.e 0x2xxxxxx range).
