Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] perf: libdw support for powerpc [ping]
Hi Paolo,
Thanks for the patch and really sorry for being late. I was quite busy
with few other things.

So, I tested this patch along with Mark's patch[1] on elfutils an looks
like it's not working. Steps on what I did:
After applying Mark's patch on upstream elfutils:
$ aclocal
$ autoheader
$ autoconf
$ automake --add-missing
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install DESTDIR=/home/ravi/elfutils-git
After applying your patch on upstream perf:
$ make
$ ./perf record --call-graph=dwarf ls
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ravi/elfutils-git/usr/local/lib:\
/home/ravi/elfutils-git/usr/local/lib/elfutils/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
./perf script

Here I don't see userspace callchain getting unwound. Please let me know
if I'm doing anything wrong. Same perf.data with libunwind:
