Subject: [PATCH 0/3] perf: parse the dwarf backtrace info from .debug_frame section

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
   to prevent a linkage error. Note: --enable-debug-frame is automatically
   selected on ARM).

The generated perf has been tested on ARMv7/OMAP4 and x86_64, using the
following commands:
 perf record -g [dwarf] -- <binary>
 perf report --sort symbol --call-graph --stdio


Jean Pihet (1):
  perf: parse the .debug_frame section in case .eh_frame is not present

Will Deacon (2):
  ARM: perf: add support for perf registers API
  ARM: perf: wire up perf_regs and unwind support for ARM
