There are applications not built with frame pointers, so DWARF is needed
to get the stack traces.
`perf record --call-graph dwarf` saves the stack and register data for
each sample to get the stacktrace offline. But sometimes this data may
have sensitive information and we don't want to keep them in the file.
This new 'perf inject --convert-callchain' option creates the callchains
and discards the stack and register after that.
This saves storage space and processing time for the new data file.
Of course, users should remove the original data file to not keep
sensitive data around. :)
The down side is that it cannot handle inlined callchain entries as they
all have the same IPs.
Maybe we can add an option to 'perf report' to look up inlined functions
using DWARF - IIUC it doesn't require stack and register data.
This is an example.
$ perf record --call-graph dwarf -- perf test -w noploop
$ perf report --stdio --no-children --percent-limit=0 > output-prev
$ perf inject -i perf.data --convert-callchain -o perf.data.out
$ perf report --stdio --no-children --percent-limit=0 -i perf.data.out > output-next
$ diff -u output-prev output-next
...
