perf unwind: Do not fail due to missing unwind support (2017-07-04 11:43:58 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/urgent fixes:

User visible:

- Fix max attr.precise_ip probing to make perf use the best cycles:p
available in the processor for non root users (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix processing of MMAP events for 32-bit binaries on 64-bit systems
when unwind support is not fully integrated, fixing DSO and symbol
resolution (Jiri Olsa)

Test results:

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with and
without libelf support, objtool where it is supported and samples/bpf/, ditto.
Where clang is available, it is also used to build perf with/without libelf.

Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH, and the android one, and those
may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages,
available and being used so far on just a few, like
debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.

The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising
tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands
with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the
sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as
expected, among a variety of other unit tests.

Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/
with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of
features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each
of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration
infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.
