[PATCH 06/85] perf record: Allow mixing --user-regs with --call-graph=dwarf

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

From: Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com>

When DWARF stacks were requested and at the same time that the user
specifies a register set using the --user-regs option the full register
context was being captured on samples:

  $ perf record -g --call-graph dwarf,1024 --user-regs=IP,SP,BP -- stack_test2.g.O3

   ...... dso: /root/abudanko/stacks/stack_test2.g.O3

I.e. the --user-regs=IP,SP,BP was being ignored, being overridden by the
needs of --call-graph=dwarf.

After applying the change in this patch the sample data contains the
user specified register, but making sure that at least the minimal set
of register needed for DWARF unwinding (DWARF_MINIMAL_REGS) is
requested.

The user is warned that DWARF unwinding may not work if extra registers
end up being needed.

  -g call-graph dwarf,K                         full_regs
  --user-regs=user_regs                         user_regs
  -g call-graph dwarf,K --user-regs=user_regs	user_regs + DWARF_MINIMAL_REGS

  $ perf record -g --call-graph dwarf,1024 --user-regs=BP -- ls
  WARNING: The use of --call-graph=dwarf may require all the user registers, specifying a subset with --user-regs may render DWARF unwinding unreliable, so the minimal registers set (IP, SP) is explicitly forced.

Committer notes:

Detected build failures on arches where PERF_REGS_ is not available,
such as debian:experimental-x-{mips,mips64,mipsel}, fedora 24 and 30 for
ARC uClibc and glibc, reported to Alexey that provided a patch moving
the DWARF_MINIMAL_REGS from evsel.c to util/perf_regs.h, where it is
guarded by an HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT ifdef.
