    perf test: Fix dwarf unwind using libunwind. · b93b0967
    Wang Nan authored
    Perf tool fails to unwind user stack if the event raises in a shared
    object. This patch improves tests/dwarf-unwind.c to demonstrate the
    problem by utilizing commonly used glibc function "bsearch". If perf is
    not statically linked, the testcase will try to unwind a mixed call
    trace.
    
    By debugging libunwind I found that there is a bug in unwind-libunwind:
    it always passes 0 as segbase to libunwind, cause libunwind unable to
    locate debug_frame entry fir first level ip address (I add some more
    debugging output into libunwind to make things clear):

                   >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 6d314 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
                   >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 33d0c (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
                    ...
                   >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 15d0c (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)

    This patch passes map->start as segbase to dwarf_find_debug_frame(), so
    di will be initialized correctly.
    
    In addition, dso and executable are different when setting segbase. This
    patch first check whether the elf is executable, and pass segbase only
    for shared object.
