Title:
  perf --call-graph dwarf doesn't record correct call graph

Status in libunwind package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. What you expected to happen
  Profiling program by "perf --call-graph dwarf" shows correct call-graph in 
perf report

  2. What actually happened
  perf report doesn't show correct call graph. Then perf is re-builded from 
source. During building, perf configure detection says stock libunwind's 
debug_frame feature is not enabled. It leads perf can't record program's 
call-graph correctly.

  3. How it is solved on my local machine
    a. get libunwind source by apt-get source libunwind-dev. 
    b. enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FRAME in libunwind configuration: autoreconfig -i && 
./configure --enable-debug-frame
    c. build libunwind and install it to /usr/lib/local
    d. get kernel source by apt-get source linux and compile perf with 
following command:
         CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/ LDFLAGS="-lunwind -L/usr/local/lib/" make
    e. perf call-graph works!
