Hi He,
While testing a patch by Peter Zijlstra to the --stdio
annotation code I came accross these messages:
[acme@jouet linux]$ perf annotate __vdso_gettimeofday 2>&1 | head -20
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported

And bisected it down to:

perf callchain: Support x86 target platform
Support x86(32-bit) cross platform callchain unwind.

--------------------------------------------------
The source code where this message is emitted is:
struct unwind_libunwind_ops __weak *local_unwind_libunwind_ops;
<SNIP>
unwind__prepare_access()
{
struct unwind_libunwind_ops *ops = local_unwind_libunwind_ops;
<SNIP>
if (!strcmp(arch, "x86")) {
if (dso_type != DSO__TYPE_64BIT)
ops = x86_32_unwind_libunwind_ops;
}
<SNIP>
if (!ops) {
pr_err("unwind: target platform=%s is not supported\n", arch);
return -1;
}
So, this should fallback to local_unwind_libunwind_ops, why is this not being
set properly?
Feature detection says:
... libunwind: [ on ]
... libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on ]
This is:

Can you please check this?
