perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directory
`perf kvm stat` supports record and report options.
By using the arch directory a report for a different machine type cannot be supported.
Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and into util/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs.
Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecture name within them.
For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function. Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected by EM_HOST, ie no different than before the change.
Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a header feature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record).
The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so remove across Makefiles and in the build.
Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.

perf capstone: Support for dlopen-ing libcapstone.so
If perf is built with LIBCAPSTONE_DLOPEN=1, support dlopen-ing libcapstone.so and then calling the necessary functions by looking them up using dlsym.
The types come from capstone.h which means the libcapstone feature check needs to pass, and NO_CAPSTONE=1 hasn't been defined. This will cause the definition of HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT.
Earlier versions of this code tried to declare the necessary capstone.h constants and structs, but they weren't stable and caused breakages across libcapstone releases.

perf build: Remove NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND option
Libdw unwinding support is present for every architecture that has a perf_regs.h - perf registers are needed for the initial frame to unwind.
Elfutils also supports SPARC, ARC and m68k but there is no support in the Linux kernel for perf registers on these architectures.
As the perf supported DWARF unwinding architectures are a subset of the elfutils ones, remove NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND as there isn't a case of elfutils lacking the support need for perf.

perf unwind-libdw: Fix a cross-arch unwinding bug
The set_initial_registers field of Dwfl_Thread_Callbacks needs to be set according to the arch of the stack samples being analyzed, not the arch that perf itself is built for.
Currently perf fails to unwind stack samples collected from archs different from that of the host perf is running on.
This patch moves the arch-specific implementations of set_initial_registers from tools/perf/arch to tools/perf/utli/unwind-libdw-arch, similar to the way the perf-regs-arch folder contains arch-specific functions related to registers, and chooses the implementation based on the arch of the data being processed.

perf addr2line: Add a libdw implementation
Add an implementation of addr2line that uses libdw.
Other addr2line implementations are slow, particularly in the case of forking addr2line.
Add an implementation that caches the libdw information in the dso and uses it to find the file and line number information.
Inline information is supported but because cu_walk_functions_at visits the leaf function last add a inline_list__append_tail to reverse the lists order.
Committer testing:
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf libdw__addr2line Added new event: probe_perf:libdw_addr2line (on libdw__addr2line in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:libdw_addr2line -aR sleep 1
# # perf stat -e probe_perf:libdw_addr2line perf report -f --dso perf --stdio -s srcfile,srcline # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 4K of event 'cpu/cycles/Pu' # Event count (approx.): 5535180842 # # Overhead Source File Source:Line # ........ ............ ............... # 99.04% inlineloop.c inlineloop.c:21 0.46% inlineloop.c inlineloop.c:20
# # (Tip: For tracepoint events, try: perf report -s trace_fields) #
Performance counter stats for 'perf report -f --dso perf --stdio -s srcfile,srcline':
44 probe_perf:libdw_addr2line
0.037260744 seconds time elapsed
0.025299000 seconds user 0.011918000 seconds sys #
Adding probes to the other addr2line implementations (llvm__addr2line, libbfd__addr2line and cmd__addr2line) I noticed some fallbacks to the llvm one:
Performance counter stats for 'perf report -f --dso perf --stdio -s srcfile,srcline':
44 probe_perf:libdw_addr2line 23 probe_perf:llvm_addr2line 0 probe_perf:libbfd_addr2line 0 probe_perf:cmd_addr2line
Something to investigate further, but at least we don't fallback to the cmd based one :-)

ASoC: Fixes for v6.19
We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.19-2025-12-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools
Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim: "Perf event/metric description:
Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that.
From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information about hardware events like the following.
$ perf list hw
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):
legacy hardware: branch-instructions [Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu] branch-misses [Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu] branches [Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu] bus-cycles [Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu] cache-misses [Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu] cache-references [Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu] cpu-cycles [Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cycles]. Unit: cpu] cycles [Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cpu-cycles]. Unit: cpu] instructions [Retired instructions. Be careful,these can be affected by various issues,most notably hardware interrupt counts. Unit: cpu] ref-cycles [Total cycles; not affected by CPU frequency scaling. Unit: cpu]
But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side, the default metrics are better named and aligned. :)
$ perf stat -- perf test -w noploop

Deferred unwinding support:
With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd4d: "perf: Support deferred user unwind"), perf can use deferred callchains for userspace stack trace with frame pointers like below:
$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...
This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains to the previous samples as if they were collected together.
ARM SPE updates
- Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset, register access, and SIMD operations.
- Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to exclude certain data sources.
- Improve documentation.
Vendor event updates:
- Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.
- Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE definitions.
- RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.
Misc:
- Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.
- Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show which instruction is causing the cacheline contention.
- Lots of fixes and test coverage improvements!"

perf build: Remove NO_AUXTRACE build option
The NO_AUXTRACE build option was used when the __get_cpuid feature test failed or if it was provided on the command line. The option no longer avoids a dependency on a library and so having the option is just adding complexity to the code base. Remove the option CONFIG_AUXTRACE from Build files and HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT by assuming it is always defined.
