    perf: Add ability to attach user stack dump to sample · c5ebcedb
    Jiri Olsa 提交于
    Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump
    of the user level stack on sample. The size of the dump is specified by
    sample_stack_user value.
    
    Being able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the stack
    pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI based stack
    unwinding.
    
    Added HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP config option to determine if the
    architecture provides user stack dump on perf event samples.  This needs
    access to the user stack pointer which is not unified across
    architectures. Enabling this for x86 architecture.
