perf tools: Add libdw DWARF post unwind support for ARM

2014-05-16T09:39:29+00:00

Adding libdw DWARF post unwind support, which is part
of elfutils-devel/libdw-dev package from version 0.158.

The new code is contained in unwin-libdw.c object, and
implements unwind__get_entries unwind interface function.

perf tests: Add dwarf unwind test on ARM

2014-05-16T09:39:18+00:00

Adding dwarf unwind test, that setups live machine data over
the perf test thread and does the remote unwind.

Need to use -fno-optimize-sibling-calls for test compilation,
otherwise 'krava_*' function calls are optimized into jumps
and omitted from the stack unwind.

So far it was enabled only for x86.

perf tests: Introduce perf_regs_load function on ARM

2014-05-16T09:39:05+00:00

Introducing perf_regs_load function, which is going
to be used for dwarf unwind test in following patches.

It takes single argument as a pointer to the regs dump
buffer and populates it with current registers values.

perf tests x86: Fix stack map lookup in dwarf unwind test

2014-04-30T15:02:31+00:00

Previous commit 'perf x86: Fix perf to use non-executable stack, again'
moved stack map into MAP__VARIABLE map type again. Fixing the dwarf
unwind test stack map lookup appropriately.

perf x86: Fix perf to use non-executable stack, again

2014-04-30T15:02:30+00:00

arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S is missing the linker note about the stack
requirements, therefore making the linker fall back to an executable
stack. As this object gets linked against the final perf binary, it'll
needlessly end up with an executable stack. Fix this by adding the
appropriate linker note.

Also add a global linker flag to prevent future regressions, as
suggested by Jiri. This way perf won't get an executable stack even if
we fail to add the .GNU-stack linker note to future assembler files.
Though, doing so might create regressions the other way around, when
(statically) linking against libraries needing an executable stack.
But, apparently, regressing in that direction is wanted as it is an
indicator of poor code quality -- or just missing linker notes.
