Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] perf: parse the dwarf backtrace info from .debug_frame section
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:36:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380195398-4402-1-git-send-email-jean.pihet@linaro.org> (raw)
On ARM the debug info is not present in the .eh_frame sections but
in .debug_frame instead, in dwarf format.
This patch set uses libunwind to load and parse the dwarf debug info from
the .debug_frame section if no .eh_frame_hdr section is found; also it
sets the hooks in the perf_regs and libunwind code for ARMv7.
Dependencies:
. if present, libunwind >= 1.1 is needed to prevent a segfault when
parsing the dwarf info,
. libunwind needs to be configured with --enable-debug-frame. Note:
--enable-debug-frame is automatically selected on ARM.
The generated perf binary has been tested on ARMv7 (OMAP4, Marvell
Armada XP) and x86_64, using the following commands:
perf record -g [dwarf] -- <binary>
perf report --sort symbol --call-graph --stdio
