Porting PPC to libdw only needs an architecture-specific hook to move the register state from perf to libdw. The ARM and x86 architectures already use libdw, and it is useful to have as much common code for the unwinder as possible. Mark Wielaard has contributed a frame-based unwinder to libdw, so that unwinding works even for binaries that do not have CFI information. In addition, libunwind is always preferred to libdw by the build machinery so this cannot introduce regressions on machines that have both libunwind and libdw installed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
