SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/3] perf: parse the .debug_frame section in case .eh_frame is not present
Hi Jean,

[adding Michael, since I know he was interested in this]

How have you tested this? Regardless of whether or not I apply this patch, I
get the same (broken/truncated) callchains for userspace in perf report.

E.g. the following stupid program (built with -O0 -g):

--->8

void bar(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i)
asm volatile("nop" ::: "memory");
}

void foo(void)
{
bar();
}


int main(void)
{
foo();
return 0;
}

8<---

Gives me an incomplete callchain:

# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ........ ................. ...............................
#
0.00% unwindme unwindme [.] bar
|
--- bar

This is the same with or without your patch.

Will
