Fwd: [PATCH 0/3] perf tools: Add libdw DWARF post unwind support for ARM64

[Jean Pihet <jean dot pihet at linaro dot org>]

Hi Mark, Jan,

Here is fwded the posting of the patches for libdw integration in perf
on AARCH64.
The mjw/aarch64-unwind branch of elfultis is used and it works ok! One
caveat though: the compat mode is not working, I am investigating this
now.

Regards,
Jean

Adding libdw DWARF post unwind support, which is part
of elfutils-devel/libdw-dev package from version 0.158.

Also includes the test suite for dwarf unwinding, by adding the
arch specific test code and the perf_regs_load function.

This series depends on the following kernel patches series:
- AARCH64 unwinding support [1],
- ARM libdw integration [2],
and on the changes from the branch for:
- libdw AARCH64 unwinding support [3].
