[PATCH 16/17] perf tests: Fix dwarf unwind for stripped binaries

Jiri Olsa
2018-02-06T18:25:03Z

When we strip the perf binary, dwarf unwind test stop
to work. The reason is that strip will remove static
function symbols, which we need to check for unwind.

This change will keep this test working in cases where
the global symbols are put into dynamic symbol table,
which is the case on x86. It still won't work on powerpc.

Making those 5 local functions global, and adding
'test_dwarf_unwind__' to their names.
