16dccbb84203196dab2e578b27c3c8f549ebff66 - perf regs: Remove weak attributive archxxx_reg_mask() functions

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 03:43:55 +0100

perf regs: Remove __weak attributive arch__xxx_reg_mask() functionsCurrently, some architecture-specific perf-regs functions, such asarch__intr_reg_mask() and arch__user_reg_mask(), are defined with the__weak attribute.This approach ensures that only functions matching the architecture ofthe build/run host are compiled and executed, reducing build time andbinary size.However, this __weak attribute restricts these functions to be calledonly on the same architecture, preventing cross-architecturefunctionality.For example, a perf.data file captured on x86 cannot be parsed on an ARMplatform.To address this limitation, this patch removes the __weak attribute fromthese perf-regs functions.The architecture-specific code is moved from the arch/ directory to theutil/perf-regs-arch/ directory.The appropriate architectural functions are then called based on theEM_HOST.No functional changes are intended.Suggested-by: Ian Rogers Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Dapeng Mi Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Albert Ou Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Alexandre Ghiti Cc: Guo Ren Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: James Clark Cc: John Garry Cc: Mike Leach Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Palmer Dabbelt Cc: Paul Walmsley Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Falcon Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Xudong Hao Cc: Zide Chen [ Fixed up somme fuzz with s390 and riscv Build files wrt removing perf_regs.o ]Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo List of files: /linux/tools/perf/arch/riscv/util/Build

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 19:26:36 +0100

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 cannotbe supported.Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and intoutil/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs.Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecturename within them.For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function.Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected byEM_HOST, ie no different than before the change.Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a headerfeature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record).The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so removeacross Makefiles and in the build.Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Cc: Aditya Bodkhe Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Albert Ou Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Alexandre Ghiti Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Andrew Jones Cc: Anubhav Shelat Cc: Anup Patel Cc: Athira Rajeev Cc: Blake Jones Cc: Chun-Tse Shao Cc: Dapeng Mi Cc: Dmitriy Vyukov Cc: Howard Chu Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: James Clark Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: John Garry Cc: Leo Yan Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Palmer Dabbelt Cc: Paul Walmsley Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Quan Zhou Cc: Shimin Guo Cc: Swapnil Sapkal Cc: Thomas Falcon Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Yunseong Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo List of files: /linux/tools/perf/arch/riscv/util/Build

perf unwind-libdw: Fix a cross-arch unwinding bugThe set_initial_registers field of Dwfl_Thread_Callbacks needs to be setaccording to the arch of the stack samples being analyzed, not the archthat perf itself is built for.Currently perf fails to unwind stack samples collected from archsdifferent from that of the host perf is running on.This patch moves the arch-specific implementations of set_initial_registersfrom tools/perf/arch to tools/perf/utli/unwind-libdw-arch, similar to theway the perf-regs-arch folder contains arch-specific functions related toregisters, and chooses the implementation based on the arch of the databeing processed.Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Shimin Guo Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Aditya Bodkhe Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Albert Ou Cc: Alexandre Ghiti Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Athira Rajeev Cc: Chun-Tse Shao Cc: Dmitriy Vyukov Cc: Dr. David Alan Gilbert Cc: Guo Ren Cc: Haibo Xu Cc: Howard Chu Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: James Clark Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: John Garry Cc: Krzysztof Łopatowski Cc: Leo Yan Cc: Mark Wielaard Cc: Palmer Dabbelt Cc: Paul Walmsley Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Sergei Trofimovich Cc: Stephen Brennan Cc: Thomas Falcon Cc: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo List of files: /linux/tools/perf/arch/riscv/util/Build
