So far the whole stack was thrown away when any error occurred before the maximum stack depth was unwound. This is actually a very common scenario though. The stacks that got unwound so far are still interesting. This removes a large chunk of differences when comparing perf script output for libunwind and libdw perf unwinding. E.g. with libunwind: ~~~~~ heaptrack_gui 2228 135073.388524: 479408 cycles: ffffffff811749ed perf_iterate_ctx ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff81181662 perf_event_mmap ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811cf5ed mmap_region ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811cfe6b do_mmap ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811b0dca vm_mmap_pgoff ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811cdb0c sys_mmap_pgoff ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff81033acb sys_mmap ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff81631d37 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath ([kernel.kallsyms]) 192ca mmap64 (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 59a9 _dl_map_object_from_fd (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 83d0 _dl_map_object (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) cda1 openaux (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 1834f _dl_catch_error (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) cfe2 _dl_map_object_deps (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 3481 dl_main (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 17387 _dl_sysdep_start (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 4d37 _dl_start (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) d87 _start (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) heaptrack_gui 2228 135073.388677: 611329 cycles: 1a3e0 strcmp (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 82b2 _dl_map_object (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) cda1 openaux (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 1834f _dl_catch_error (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) cfe2 _dl_map_object_deps (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 3481 dl_main (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 17387 _dl_sysdep_start (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) 4d37 _dl_start (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) d87 _start (/usr/lib/ld-2.25.so) ~~~~~ With libdw without this patch: ~~~~~ heaptrack_gui 2228 135073.388524: 479408 cycles: ffffffff811749ed perf_iterate_ctx ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff81181662 perf_event_mmap ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811cf5ed mmap_region ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811cfe6b do_mmap ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811b0dca vm_mmap_pgoff ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811cdb0c sys_mmap_pgoff ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff81033acb sys_mmap ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff81631d37 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath ([kernel.kallsyms]) heaptrack_gui 2228 135073.388677: 611329 cycles: ~~~~~ With this patch applied, the libdw unwinder will produce the same output as the libunwind unwinder.
