Tested on x86_64. The change is in generic code only,
so it should not affect other archs. Still it would be
nice to have some confirmation.. Wang Nan? ;-)

It'd be nice to have this for libdw unwind as well,
but it looks like it's out of reach for perf code.. Jan?

Also available in:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
perf/callchain_1
adding also libdw support.. test with 'make NO_LIBUNWIND=1'

thanks,

As reported by Milian, currently for DWARF unwind (both libdw
and libunwind) we display callchain in callee order only.

Adding the support to follow callchain order setup to libdw
DWARF unwinder, so we could get following output for report:

$ perf record --call-graph dwarf ls
...

$ perf report --no-children --stdio

$ perf report --stdio --no-children -g caller

And I suggest you put a user space call graph to the commit message
to show the result of this patch. What you show now is not related
to this patch, right?

In addition, just for your information, I find libdw can unwind call
chain I described yesterday in [1].

Thank you.
