Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Fix dwarf unwind for optimized builds.

To ensure the stack frames are on the stack tail calls optimizations
need to be inhibited. If your compiler supports an attribute use it,
otherwise use an asm volatile barrier.

The barrier fix was suggested here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201028081123.GT2628@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/

Fixes: 9ae1e990f1ab ("perf tools: Remove broken __no_tail_call
       attribute")
