Public bug reported:
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!
