Hi He,

	While testing a patch by Peter Zijlstra to the --stdio
annotation code I came accross these messages:

[acme@jouet linux]$ perf annotate __vdso_gettimeofday 2>&1 | head -20
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported

    0.00 :	  cdd:   sub    $0x10,%rsp
[acme@jouet linux]$

And bisected it down to:

    Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>

--------------------------------------------------

The source code where this message is emitted is:

struct unwind_libunwind_ops __weak *local_unwind_libunwind_ops;
<SNIP>
unwind__prepare_access()
{
	struct unwind_libunwind_ops *ops = local_unwind_libunwind_ops;
<SNIP>
	if (!strcmp(arch, "x86")) {
                if (dso_type != DSO__TYPE_64BIT)
                        ops = x86_32_unwind_libunwind_ops;
        }
<SNIP>
        if (!ops) {
                pr_err("unwind: target platform=%s is not supported\n", arch);
                return -1;
        }

So, this should fallback to local_unwind_libunwind_ops, why is this not being
set properly?

Feature detection says:

...                     libunwind: [ on  ]
...            libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on  ]

This is:

Can you please check this?

I think it's because of the perf.data contains both 32bit/64bit
threads while perf is only build with local unwind(unwind for
x86_64).

Then I have a simple test for this:

   $ file hello_x86_64
   hello_x86_64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), 
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 3.0.0, 
BuildID[sha1]=adc94932cbcb2be80f3b62df530b8c109f40478a, not strippe

   $ file hello_i686
   hello_i686: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 4.5.0, not stripped

   $ perf record -o perf.data.x86_64_singlethread    hello_x86_64
   $ perf record -o perf.data.x86_64_allcpu       -a hello_x86_64
   $ perf record -o perf.data.i686_singlethread      hello_i686
   $ perf record -o perf.data.i686_allcpu         -a hello_i686

Now I get 4 perf.data files:

   ID    name                32bit        64bit

   1    perf.data.x86_64_singlethread    N        Y
   2    perf.data.x86_64_allcpu        N        Y
   3    perf.data.i686_singlethread    Y        N
   4    perf.data.i686_allcpu        Y        Y

Because perf only supports local unwind(for x86_64), cases
contain 32bit thread should show the warnings, i.e. case3 and
case4. And perf.data contains only 32bit threads will show nothing
except the warnings while the one contains both 32bit/64bit will
show warnings for 32bit thread and annoate the 64bit thread.

Then check:

   $ perf annotate -i perf.data.x86_64_singlethread

    Percent |      Source code & Disassembly of hello for cycles:pp
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
            :
            :
            :
            :      Disassembly of section .text:
            :
            :      00000000004005c0 <fib>:
            :      fib():
            :      #endif

   $ perf annotate -i perf.data.x86_64_allcpu

   Percent |      Source code & Disassembly of hello for cycles:pp
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
            :
            :
            :
            :      Disassembly of section .text:
            :
            :      00000000004005c0 <fib>:
            :      fib():
            :      #endif
            :
            :      volatile int z = 0;
            :
            :      int fib(int x)

   $ perf annotate -i perf.data.i686_singlethread

   unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
   unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
   unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported

   $ perf annotate -i perf.data.i686_allcpu

   unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
   unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
   unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported

   Percent |      Source code & Disassembly of perf for cycles:pp
   ---------------------------------------------------------------
   :
   :
   :
   :      Disassembly of section .text:
   :
   :      0000000000442a8f <record__mmap_read>:
   :      record__mmap_read():
   :
   :              return backward_rb_find_range(data, mask, head, start, 
end);
   :      }

The result is the same as we expected, so if your case matches
the case4, the result is right. But I think we can improve the
warning message for not confusing the users.

Thank you.
