Subject: [PATCH 0/9] perf/jit: various improvements

From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@...il.com>

This patch series provides several important enhancements to the perf jit code
profiling support. The following is changed:
 - enable building pref jitdump support without DWARF (Maciej)
 - Add Exception Handling (EH) Frame record type to support unwinding
 - remove useless padding of data in jitdump file
 - provide a specification document for the jitdump format to help jit runtime developers add support

Note that the runtime needs to emit the unwind information. This is not supported for openJDK via JVMTI.

Thanks to Maciej, Stefano, and Ross for their contributions.

Maciej Debski (1):
  perf/jit: enable jitdump support without dwarf
