    perf unwind arm64: Decouple Libunwind register names from Perf · d511578b
    James Clark authored
    DWARF register numbers and real register numbers on aarch64 are
    equivalent. Remove the references to the register names from Libunwind
    so that new registers are supported without having to add build time
    feature checks for each new register.
    
    The unwinder won't ask for a register that it doesn't know about and
    Perf will already report an error for an unknown or unrecorded register
    in the perf_reg_value() function so extra validation isn't needed.
    
    After this change the new VG register can be read by libunwind.
