perf tools: Support for DWARF CFI unwinding on post processing
This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the applications. Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based on the user register values and user stack dump. The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack. The unwind interface provides following function: unwind__get_entries And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve the backtrace entries: typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry, void *arg); Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Original-patch-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "Frank Ch.
