perf capstone: Support for dlopen-ing libcapstone.soIf perf is built with LIBCAPSTONE_DLOPEN=1, support dlopen-inglibcapstone.so and then calling the necessary functions by looking themup using dlsym.The types come from capstone.h which means the libcapstone feature checkneeds to pass, and NO_CAPSTONE=1 hasn't been defined. This will causethe definition of HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT.Earlier versions of this code tried to declare the necessarycapstone.h constants and structs, but they weren't stable and causedbreakages across libcapstone releases.Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Bill Wendling Cc: Charlie Jenkins Cc: Collin Funk Cc: Dmitriy Vyukov Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: James Clark Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Justin Stitt Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Nathan Chancellor Cc: Nick Desaulniers Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo List of files: /linux/tools/perf/tests/make

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 06:28:47 +0100

perf build: Remove NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND optionLibdw unwinding support is present for every architecture that has aperf_regs.h - perf registers are needed for the initial frame tounwind.Elfutils also supports SPARC, ARC and m68k but there is no support inthe Linux kernel for perf registers on these architectures.As the perf supported DWARF unwinding architectures are a subset of theelfutils ones, remove NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND as there isn't a case ofelfutils lacking the support need for perf.Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers 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: Namhyung Kim Cc: Palmer Dabbelt Cc: Paul Walmsley Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Sergei Trofimovich Cc: Shimin Guo Cc: Stephen Brennan Cc: Thomas Falcon Cc: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo List of files: /linux/tools/perf/tests/make
