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
to prevent a linkage error. Note: --enable-debug-frame is automatically
selected on ARM).
The generated perf has been tested on ARMv7/OMAP4 and x86_64, using the
following commands:
perf record -g [dwarf] -- <binary>
perf report --sort symbol --call-graph --stdio

From: Will Deacon <[email protected]>
This patch implements the functions required for the perf registers API,
allowing the perf tool to interface kernel register dumps with libunwind
in order to provide userspace backtracing.

On ARM the debug info is not present in the .eh_frame sections but
in .debug_frame instead, in the dwarf format.
Use libunwind to load and parse the debug info.
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
to prevent a linkage error. Note: --enable-debug-frame is automatically
selected on ARM).

Is the 1.1 version required for x86 too?

Yes if the dwarf unwinding feature is used. I know it is not in use on
x86 as of now but could be in the future since the dwarf info brings
more details in the trace, cf. http://lwn.net/Articles/499116/.

The below looks to be mostly ARM bits and I would suspect Will to take
care of them.

This one looks to be generic code, Acme who do we want to look at that?

I tested the .eh_frame code is still functional, but
haven't tested the .debug_frame functionality itself
otherwise it looks ok:
