My concern is about users (again, not sure if there are any ;-) ) that use this with packaged libunwind compiled without --enable-debug-frame option. For them perf will consider libunwind as 'not available' with your changes: ... CHK libunwind config/Makefile:223: No libunwind found, disabling post unwind support. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 ... and they'll need to compile their own libunwind (thats the case on Fedora). This could be solved by detecting this and make your code conditional as attached below (not much tested). thanks, jirka --- diff --git a/tools/perf/config/Makefile b/tools/perf/config/Makefile index 134b36e..d40cf0a 100644 --- a/tools/perf/config/Makefile +++ b/tools/perf/config/Makefile @@ -223,6 +223,10 @@ ifneq ($(call try-cc,$(SOURCE_LIBUNWIND),$(FLAGS_UNWIND),libunwind),y) msg := $(warning No libunwind found, disabling post unwind support.
