MacroAssembler::verified_entry() genereates, in some cases, code that uses frame pointers incorrectly. For example, in the _new_array_Java stub (see excerpt below), RBP is not set to point to the stack location where the caller's frame is stored. As a result, perf (and other tools as well) is not be able to walk the stack in this case.
