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.

This patch 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 ARM.

The generated perf has been tested on ARM/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 regs API
  ARM: perf: wire up perf_regs and unwind support for ARM
