Artem Savkov 46d21ec067 perf report: Append inlines to non-DWARF callchains
Append information about inlined functions to FP and LBR callchains from
DWARF debuginfo when available. Do so by calling append_inlines() from
add_callchain_ip().

Testing it:

Frame-pointer mode recorded with 'perf record --call-graph=fp --freq=max -- ./a.out'

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdint.h>

  static __attribute__((noinline)) uint32_t func5(uint32_t i)
  {
          return i + 10;
  }

  static uint32_t func4(uint32_t i)
  {
          return func5(i + 5);
  }

  static inline uint32_t func3(uint32_t i)
  {
          return func4(i + 4);
  }

  static __attribute__((noinline)) uint32_t func2(uint32_t i)
  {
          return func3(i + 3);
  }

  static uint32_t func1(uint32_t i)
  {
          return func2(i + 2);
  }

  __attribute__((noinline)) uint64_t entry(void)
  {
          uint64_t ret = 0;
          uint32_t i = 0;
          for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
                  ret += func1(i);
                  ret -= func2(i);
                  ret += func3(i);
                  ret += func4(i);
                  ret -= func5(i);
          }
          return ret;
  }

  int main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
          printf("%s\n", __func__);
          return entry();
  }

Here is the output I get with '--call-graph callee --no-children'

  It does not seem to be out of order, or at least it is consistent with
  what I get with dwarf unwinders.

Committer notes:

Adrian Hunter pointed out that this breaks --branch-history, so don't do
it for branches, see the second Link below.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
