Subject[PATCH v3 0/4] perf: parse the dwarf backtrace info from .debug_frame section
Date
On ARM the debug info is not present in the .eh_frame sections but
in .debug_frame instead, in dwarf format.

This patch set uses libunwind to load and parse the dwarf debug info from
the .debug_frame section if no .eh_frame_hdr section is found; also it
sets the hooks in the perf_regs and libunwind code for ARMv7.

Dependencies:
. if present, libunwind >= 1.1 is needed to prevent a segfault when
parsing the dwarf info,
. libunwind needs to be configured with --enable-debug-frame. Note:
--enable-debug-frame is automatically selected on ARM.

The generated perf binary has been tested on ARMv7 (OMAP4, Marvell
Armada XP) and x86_64, using the following commands:
perf record -g [dwarf] -- <binary>
perf report --sort symbol --call-graph --stdio


Jean Pihet (2):
perf tools: Check libunwind for availability of dwarf parsing feature
perf: parse the .debug_frame section in case .eh_frame is not present

Will Deacon (2):
ARM: perf: add support for perf registers API
ARM: perf: wire up perf_regs and unwind support for ARM
