[PATCH 2/5] perf unwind: Do not look at globals
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Jan 16 2018 - 09:26:08 EST

When setting up DWARF callchains on specific events, without using
'record' or 'trace' --call-graph, but instead doing it like:
perf trace -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/
The unwind__prepare_access() call in thread__insert_map() when we
process PERF_RECORD_MMAP(2) metadata events were not being performed,
precluding us from using per-event DWARF callchains, handling them just
when we asked for all events to be DWARF, using "--call-graph dwarf".
We do it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP because we have to look at one of the
executable maps to figure out the executable type (64-bit, 32-bit) of
the DSO laid out in that mmap. Also to look at the architecture where
the perf.data file was recorded.
All this probably should be deferred to when we process a sample for
some thread that has callchains, so that we do this processing only for
the threads with samples, not for all of them.
For now, fix using DWARF on specific events.
Before:

PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
