perf probe: Support DW_OP_call_frame_cfa in debuginfo
When building kernel without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, gcc uses
CFA (canonical frame address) for frame base. With this patch,
perf probe just gets CFI (call frame information) from debuginfo
and search corresponding CFA from the CFI. IOW, this allows
perf probe works correctly on the kernel without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.
<Before>
./perf probe -fn sched_slice:12 lw.weight
Fatal: DW_OP 156 is not supported.
(^^^ DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
<After>
./perf probe -fn sched_slice:12 lw.weight
Add new event:
probe:sched_slice (on sched_slice:12 with weight=lw.weight)
