[PATCH] DWARF/unwind support for ORDER_CALLER

From: Constantine Sapuntzakis
Date: Fri Dec 04 2015 - 18:53:25 EST


Prior to this, perf report -G and kin did not respect ORDER_CALLER
for DWARF unwinds.

ORDER_CALLER is implemented for fp backtraces by reversing the
callchain when pushing onto the cursor. Simulate this behavior by
prepending the frames onto the cursor when doing the DWARF unwind.
