Using perf with call graph method dwarf fails to provide backtrace
support for stripped binary even though .gnu_debuglink points to *.dbg
flavor with properly populated debug symbols.
Problem is reproduced on ARM (v7, v8), kernels 3.14.y, 4.4.y and
4.10.rc3. Perf is configured with libunwind, and unwind dwarf support
[1]. Test code (stress_bt.c) can be found on [2].
Running (explicitly disable other unwinding methods):
$ gcc -g -o stress_bt -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-unwind-tables \
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables stress_bt.c
$ perf record -N --call-graph dwarf ./stress_bt
$ perf report
results in properly generated call graph. Stripping the binary and running
it results with missing call graph. Expected result is to have call graph:
$ gcc -g -o stress_bt -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-unwind-tables \
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables stress_bt.c
$ objcopy --only-keep-debug stress_bt stress_bt.dbg
$ objcopy --strip-debug stress_bt
$ objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=stress_bt.dbg stress_bt
$ perf record -N --call-graph dwarf ./stress_bt
$ perf report
Problem is that perf doesn't try to read symbols pointed by gnu
debuglink. Patch adds checking, and reading of the symbols from
debuglink and symsrc. Order of the check is to first check within dso,
then check whether symsrc is defined and try to read from it. Finally,
debuglink is checked. Default locations of debug files are discussed in
[3] and [4]. Comments on RFC are on [5].

When calculating .eh_frame_hdr base and LUT offsets do not always assume
that pgoff is zero.
The assumption is false for DSOs built from the jitdump by perf inject,
because the ELF header did not exist in memory at sampling time.

This fixes the srcline translation for call chains of user space
applications.
Before we got:

Use macro name prefixed with "LIBUNWIND_ARCH" for better understanding
that the regs used by callbacks of libunwind are arch specific. The real
regs used should be defined in the wrapper file of
"unwind-libunwind-local.c" for each supported arch.

For local libunwind, it uses the fixed methods to convert register id
according to the host platform, but in remote libunwind, this convert
function should be the one for remote architecture. This patch changes
the fixed name to macro and code for each remote platform can be
compiled indivadually.

This patch extracts common unwind-libunwind APIs out of
unwind-libunwind-local.c, this part will be used by both local and
remote libunwind.

Since unwind-libunwind.c contains code for specific arithecture, we
change it's name to unwind-libunwind-local.c, and let it only be built
if local libunwind is supported.
