[PATCH 15/15] perf, tool: Support for dwarf mode callchain on perf record

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Wed Mar 28 2012 - 08:37:52 EST

This patch enables perf to use the dwarf unwind code.

It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments:
'fp' - provides framepointer based user
stack backtrace
'dwarf[,size]' - provides dwarf (libunwind) based user stack
backtrace. The size specifies the size of the
user stack dump. If ommited it is 8192 by default.

If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf'
argument becomes the default option. If not, 'fp' stays as
default and 'dwarf' is not available. The '-g' usage help text
is updated accordingly.

Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind)

perf record -g -- ls
perf record -g dwarf ls
- provide dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size

perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size

perf record -g fp ls
- provides frame pointer unwind
