    perf tools: add NO_BACKTRACE for application self-debugging · c9f08bee
    Irina Tirdea authored
    perf has support for self-debugging by defining dump_stack function.
    This function uses backtrace and backtrace_symbols functions defined as
    GNU extensions.
    
    In Android, bionic does not offer support for these functions and
    compilation will fail with the following error:
    
    target  C: libperf <= tools/perf/util/util.c
    tools/perf/util/util.c:4:22: fatal error: execinfo.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    
    Add a compile-time option (NO_BACKTRACE) to enable or disable
    self-debugging functionality in perf. This can also help in debugging
    since it offers the possibility to turn on/off printing the backtrace.
