From: Jin Yao <yao.jin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 800d3f561659b5436f8c57e7c26dd1f6928b5615 ] We received a user report that call-graph DWARF mode was enabled in 'perf record' but 'perf report' didn't unwind the callstack correctly. The reason was, libunwind was not compiled in. We can use 'perf -vv' to check the compiled libraries but it would be valuable to report a warning to user directly (especially valuable for a perf newbie). The warning is: Warning: Please install libunwind development packages during the perf build. Both TUI and stdio are supported.
