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.

perf tools: Setup default dwarf post unwinder

2014-02-24T12:29:36+00:00

Factor NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND makefile variable and code that selects
default DWARf post unwinder based on detected features (libdw and
libunwind support)

If both are detected the libunwind is selected as default.  Simple
'make' will try to add:

  - libunwind unwinder if present
  - libdw unwinder if present
  - disable dwarf unwind if non of libunwind and libdw
    libraries are present

If one of the DWARF unwind libraries is detected, message is displayed
which one (libunwind/libdw) is compiled in.

Examples:
  - compile in libdw unwinder if present:

    $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1

  - compile in libdw (with libdw installation directory) unwinder if present:

    $ make LIBDW_DIR=/opt/elfutils/ NO_LIBUNWIND=1
      BUILD:   Doing 'make -j4' parallel build

    Auto-detecting system features:
    ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]
    ...                         glibc: [ on  ]
    ...                          gtk2: [ on  ]

    ...                        libbfd: [ on  ]
    ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
    ...                       libnuma: [ on  ]
    ...                       libperl: [ on  ]
    ...                     libpython: [ on  ]
    ...                      libslang: [ on  ]
    ...                     libunwind: [ on  ]
    ...            libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on  ]
    ...     DWARF post unwind library: libdw

  - disable post dwarf unwind completely:

    $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1 NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND=1
      BUILD:   Doing 'make -j4' parallel build

    Auto-detecting system features:
    ...                         dwarf: [ on  ]

perf tools: Add libdw DWARF post unwind support

2014-02-24T12:29:36+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.

New Makefile variable NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND was added to control its
compilation, and is marked as disabled now.  It's factored with the rest
of the Makefile unwind build code in the next patch.

Arch specific code was added for x86.

2014-02-18T12:34:48+00:00

The mask was always passed along, so logically the mask info fits more

perf tests x86: Add dwarf unwind test

2014-02-18T12:34:47+00:00

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

At this moment this test fails due to bug in the max_stack processing in
unwind__get_entries function.  This is fixed in following patch.

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

So far it's enabled only for x86.

unwind test in following patches.

It takes single argument as a pointer to the regs dump buffer and
