hi,
adding libdw DWARF unwind support, which is part of just released
elfutils package 0.158.

We can now compile perf to have either libunwind DWARF unwind,
(which is still default) or the new one libdw unwind.

Examples:
  - compile in libdw unwinder if present:
    $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1

  - compile in libdw (with libdw installation directory) unwinder if present:
    $ make LIBDW_DIR=/opt/elfutils/ NO_LIBUNWIND=1

  - disable post dwarf unwind completely:
    $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1 NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND=1

Performance wise the libdw unwinder seems to be faster.
Following results are from 2GB perf.data file with 249156
samples:

  The libdw unwind perf:
  $ time perf report -i ~/perf.data > perf.data.ldw

  real    0m35.746s
  user    0m24.211s
  sys     0m11.214s

  The libunwind unwind perf:
  $ time perf report -i ~/perf.data > perf.data.unw

  real    1m41.149s
  user    1m9.694s
  sys     0m30.595s

In example above I've got 2206 differences (perf.data.ldw and
perf.data.unw files) in the callchains output out of the 249156
samples which is below 1%. Together with some other tips for speed
increase it's on my TODO list for future.

Git tree:

  perf/core_libdw_unwind

Kudos to Jan Kratochvil for helping me with the new interface.

Jean,
I haven't tested on arm.. so not sure I broke anything there.
Any chance you could test for me, and maybe make the automated
test I added work there? ;-)

thanks,
jirka
