There is no -g dwarf to my knowldge. There is only `perf record -g`, which is 
the framepointer based unwinding and that should also work. But I only really 
tested this WIP branch with `--call-graph dwarf` so far.

I'm not so sure whether I understand your sentence about "non-graph runs". It 
has nothing to do with `perf report -g graph` (yes, perf is confusing!).

You'll have to:

perf record [-g | --call-graph lbr | --call-graph dwarf ] (pick one)
perf report -g srcline (and anything else)

Cheers
