 # Dwarf Assembly

-## How to use
-
-To compile `eh_elf`s for a given ELF file, say `foo.bin`, it is recommended to
-use `generate_eh_elf.py`. Help can be obtained with `--help`. A standard
-command is
-
-```bash
-./generate_eh_elf.py --deps --enable-deref-arg --global-switch -o eh_elfs foo.bin
-```
-
-This will compile `foo.bin` and all the shared objects it relies on into
-`eh_elf`s, in the directory `./eh_elfs`, using a dereferencing argument (which
-is necessary for `perf-eh_elfs`).
-
-## Generate the intermediary C file
-
-If you're curious about the intermediary C file generated for a given ELF file
-`foo.bin`, you must call `dwarf-assembly` directly. A parameter `--help` can be
-passed; a standard command is
-
-```bash
-./dwarf-assembly --global-switch --enable-deref-arg foo.bin
-```
-
-**Beware**! This will generate the C code on the standard output.

-# Benching `eh_elfs`
-
-## Benchmark setup
-
-Pick some name for your `eh_elfs` directory. We will call it `$EH_ELF_DIR`.
-
-### Generate the `eh_elfs`
-
-```bash
-../../generate_eh_elf.py --deps -o "$EH_ELF_DIR" \
-  --keep-holes -O2 --global-switch --enable-deref-arg "$BENCHED_BINARY"
-```
-
-### Record a `perf` session
-
-```bash
-perf record --call-graph dwarf,4096 "$BENCHED_BINARY" [args]
-```
-
-### Set up the environment
-
-```bash
-source ../../env/apply [vanilla | vanilla-nocache | *eh_elf] [dbg | *release]
-```
-
-The first value selects the version of libunwind you will be running, the
-second selects whether you want to run in debug or release mode (use release to
-get readings, debug to check for errors).
-
-You can reset your environment to its previous state by running `deactivate`.
-
-If you pick the `eh_elf` flavour, you will also have to
-
-```bash
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$EH_ELF_DIR:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
-```
-
-## Extract results
-
-### Base readings
-
-**In release mode** (faster), run

-```bash
-perf report 2>&1 >/dev/null

-
-with both `eh_elf` and `vanilla` shells. Compare average time.

-
-```bash
-UNW_DEBUG_LEVEL=5 perf report 2>&1 >/dev/null

-
-### Total number of calls to `unw_step`
-
-```bash
-UNW_DEBUG_LEVEL=5 perf report 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep -c "step:.* returning"
