[PATCH] perf report: Support caller callchain order when using DWARF unwinder.

[PATCH] perf report: Support caller callchain order when using DWARF unwinder.

[Milian Wolff]

We cannot reverse the order of the libunwind stepper. To workaround
this, we store the IPs in a temporary stack buffer and then walk
this buffer in reverse order when callchain_param.order is set to
ORDER_CALLER.

Jiri,

	Can you please take a look at this?

there's no check for return value of entry callback

also I wonder would it be better to store into ips[] within
the single loop all the time, and iterate throught it after
forward/backward based on the callchain_param.order

please check attached patch, totaly untested, probably leaking some index ;-)

any chance this could be done also for util/unwind-libdw.c ?

thanks,
jirka

That patch looks much better than mine. I'll try it out later next week and 
will also have a look at util/unwind-libdw.c. Question: How can I test the 
behavior of the latter? Do I need to uninstall libunwind, or can I change the 
unwinder at runtime somehow (env var?).

Also, are there unit tests for this behavior somewhere?

It's either libunwind or libdw compiled in, so I'd suggest
generic test (see below) and compile with make variables
NO_LIBUNWIND=1 or NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND=1 to get desired
unwinder compiled in

please check tests/dwarf-unwind.c, I think you can add similar test

OK, I'll try to find the time to test this later this week. I have also some 
more on my todo list regarding documentation and testing. If you don't hear 
back from me though, I'd appreciate if someone could adopt this patch and make 
sure it gets integrated.

Yes, I think it's good as-is. Should I resubmit Jiris patch? Considering that 
he rewrote the patch, should he send it and add me as tester? How do you 
handle such situations in the Kernel land?

So, I'll fix this all up by adding a Signed-off-by: Jiri and a
Tested-by: Millian, which I think I can do according to the above
messages and past experience, but the Correct Way to do this would
be for Jiri to collect your Tested-by and resubmit in a separate
message, not as a patch added to the text of a thread.

Thanks,

I take that back, can one of you please write a nice description to the
problem and how the proposed patch fixes it, then send as a separate
message with your Tested-by + Signed-off-by?

well, I'd rather take it then and test it.. I sent
