<id>16dccbb84203196dab2e578b27c3c8f549ebff66</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, some architecture-specific perf-regs functions, such as
arch__intr_reg_mask() and arch__user_reg_mask(), are defined with the
__weak attribute.

This approach ensures that only functions matching the architecture of
the build/run host are compiled and executed, reducing build time and
binary size.

However, this __weak attribute restricts these functions to be called
only on the same architecture, preventing cross-architecture
functionality.

For example, a perf.data file captured on x86 cannot be parsed on an ARM
platform.

To address this limitation, this patch removes the __weak attribute from
these perf-regs functions.

The architecture-specific code is moved from the arch/ directory to the
util/perf-regs-arch/ directory.

The appropriate architectural functions are then called based on the
EM_HOST.

No functional changes are intended.

Make the util directory into its own library. This is done to avoid
compiling code twice, once for the perf tool and once for the perf
python module. For convenience:
  arch/common.c
  scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c
  scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c
are made part of this library.

This patch add support for DWARF register mappings and libdw registers
initialization, which is used by perf callchain analyzing, eg:

perf record --call-graph=dwarf &lt;COMMAND&gt;
