perf arch: Update arch headers to use relative UAPI paths

2026-02-06T15:15:48+00:00

The architectural specific headers perf_regs.h currently rely on the
host architecture's 'asm/perf_regs.h'.

This can lead to compilation inconsistencies or failures when including
and building perf for a target architecture that differs from the host's
architecture.

Explicitly point to the UAPI headers within the tools source tree using
relative paths.

This ensures that perf is always built against the intended
architecture.

No functional changes are intended.

perf syscalltbl: Remove syscall_table.h

2025-03-21T05:57:35+00:00

The definition of "static const char *const syscalltbl[] = {" is done
in a generated syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h that is architecture
dependent. In order to include the appropriate file a syscall_table.h
is found via the perf include path and it includes the syscalls_32.h
or syscalls_64.h as appropriate.

To support having multiple syscall tables, one for 32-bit and one for
64-bit, or for different architectures, an include path cannot be
used. Remove syscall_table.h because of this and inline what it does
into syscalltbl.c.

For architectures without a syscall_table.h this will cause a failure
to include either syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h rather than a failure
to include syscall_table.h. For architectures that only included one
or other, the behavior matches BITS_PER_LONG as previously done on
architectures supporting both syscalls_32.h and syscalls_64.h.

perf tools arm64: Use syscall table

2025-01-09T15:55:36+00:00

arm64 uses a syscall table, use that in perf instead of using unistd.h.

perf test: Add a test for the new Arm CPU ID comparison behavior

2023-08-17T17:11:54+00:00

Now that variant and revision fields are taken into account the behavior
is slightly more complicated so add a test to ensure that this behaves
as expected.

perf arch: Support register names from all archs

2021-12-16T15:18:12+00:00

When reading a perf.data file with register values, there is a mismatch
between the names and the values of the registers because the tool is
built using only the register names from the local architecture.

Reading a perf.data file that was recorded on ARM64, gives the following
erroneous output on an X86 machine:

  # perf report -i perf_arm64.data -D
  [...]
  24661932634451 0x698 [0x21d0]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x1): 43239/43239: 0xffffc5be8f100f98 period: 1 addr: 0

As can be seen, the register names correspond to X86 registers, even
though the perf.data file was recorded on an ARM64 system. After this
patch, the output of the command displays the correct register names:

perf arm64: Rename perf_event_arm_regs for ARM64 registers

2021-12-16T15:18:12+00:00

The registers for ARM and ARM64 are enumerated using two enums that have
the same name. In order to be able to import both headers, the name of
one can be replaced using the C preprocessor like so:

  #define perf_event_arm_regs perf_event_arm64_regs
  #include 
  #undef perf_event_arm_regs

This patch updates all imports of ARM64's perf_regs.h in order to
prevent the naming collision.

perf test: Make each test/suite its own struct.

2021-11-13T13:30:04+00:00

By switching to an array of pointers to tests (later to be suites)
the definition of the tests can be moved to the file containing the
tests.

Committer notes:

It's "&vectors_page", not "&vectors_pages", noticed when cross building
to 32-bit ARM.

Also the DEFINE_SUITE(vectors_page) should be done where its function is
implemented, in tools/perf/arch/arm/tests/vectors-page.c, so that we can
make it static, as we don't have anymore its declaration in tests.h.

2021-05-21T19:57:43+00:00

There's no reason for making the test__arch_unwind_sample declaration per
arch. Currently that's done 2 different ways either with a declaration in
arch-tests.h or with an arch define. Unify all this with an unconditional
declaration in tests.h.
