Ok

Here is the diff between the x86 and the ARM implementations:
$ diff -urN tools/perf/arch/arm64/tests/dwarf-unwind.c
tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/dwarf-unwind.c

         return -1;
     }

-    sp = (unsigned long) regs[PERF_REG_ARM64_SP];
+    sp = (unsigned long) regs[PERF_REG_X86_SP];

-    map = map_groups__find(&thread->mg, MAP__FUNCTION, (u64) sp);
+    map = map_groups__find(thread->mg, MAP__VARIABLE, (u64) sp);
     if (!map) {
         pr_debug("failed to get stack map\n");
+        free(buf);
         return -1;
     }

Which leads to a few questions:
- the map_groups__find parameters need to be fixed too, right?
- the free(buf) needs to be fixed,
- given that the remaining difference in the file is just a register
macro, it is worth to factor the code in a single file. Does that make
sense? If worthwhile I can do that once the ARM and ARM64 support is
merged in.

What do you think?

Jean
