perf report: Add warning when libunwind not compiled in
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.
