Subject: [PATCH 0/3] perf tools: Add libdw DWARF post unwind support for ARM64

Adding libdw DWARF post unwind support, which is part
of elfutils-devel/libdw-dev package from version 0.158.

Also includes the test suite for dwarf unwinding, by adding the
arch specific test code and the perf_regs_load function.

This series depends on the following kernel patches series:
- AARCH64 unwinding support [1]. Already mainlined.
- ARM libdw integration [2],
and on the changes from the branch for:
- libdw AARCH64 unwinding support [3].

[1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg304483.html
[2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/6/366
[3] https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/elfutils.git/log/?h=mjw/aarch64-unwind

ToDo: investigate the libdw unwinding problem with compat binaries (i.e.
ARMv7 binaries running on ARMv8). Since this functionality works ok with
libunwind, the problem should be in libdw compat support [3].


Jean Pihet (3):
  perf tests: Introduce perf_regs_load function on ARM64
  perf tests: Add dwarf unwind test on ARM64
  perf tools: Add libdw DWARF post unwind support for ARM64
