[PATCH 7/7] perf probe: Add perf probe command support without libdwarf

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Oct 12 2009 - 18:26:27 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Enables 'perf probe' even if libdwarf is not installed. If libdwarf is
not found, 'perf probe' just disables dwarf support. Users can use
'perf probe' to set up new events by using kprobe_events format.
