perf regs: Remove weak attributive archxxx_reg_mask() functions

2026-02-06T15:16:09+00:00

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.

perf mips: Remove dwarf-regs.c

2024-11-09T16:39:13+00:00

The file just provides the function get_arch_regstr, however, if in
the only caller get_dwarf_regstr EM_HOST is used for the EM_NONE case
the function can never be called. So remove as dead code. Tidy up the
EM_NONE cases for mips in dwarf-regs.c.

perf build: Rename CONFIG_DWARF to CONFIG_LIBDW

2024-10-18T17:17:40+00:00

In Makefile.config for unwinding the name dwarf implies either
libunwind or libdw. Make it clearer that CONFIG_DWARF is really just
defined when libdw is present by renaming to CONFIG_LIBDW.

perf util: Make util its own library

2024-06-26T18:07:42+00:00

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.

perf tools: Support MIPS unwinding and dwarf-regs

2021-03-01T17:47:50+00:00

Map perf APIs (perf_reg_name/get_arch_regstr/unwind__arch_reg_id) with
MIPS specific registers.

[ayan@wavecomp.com: repick this patch for unwinding userstack backtrace
by perf and libunwind on MIPS based CPU.]

[yangtiezhu@loongson.cn: Add sample_reg_masks[] to fix build error,
silence some checkpatch errors and warnings, and also separate the
original patches into two parts (MIPS kernel and perf tools) to merge
easily.]

The original patches:

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1126521/
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1126520/

Committer notes:

Do it as __perf_reg_name() to cope with:
