Subject: [PATCH] perf dwarf-aux: Check .eh_frame section for CFA
Date: Fri,  2 Oct 2026 15:42:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002224242.396135-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

The die_get_cfa() only calls dwarf_getcfi() which handles .debug_frame
section.  But most binaries have .eh_frame instead so it would fail.
Let's call dwarf_getcfi_elf() first to try .eh_frame section and then
fallback to .debug_frame.
