perf dwarf-regs: Adapt get_dwarf_regnum() for arm64

2026-09-21T06:30:50+00:00

The current arm64 DWARF register lookup relies on 'aarch64_regstr_tbl',
a static string table. While this works for kprobe-tracer where register
names start with '%', it is insufficient for parsing register numbers
directly from raw instructions (e.g., extracting '6' from 'x6' or 'w6')
during annotation.

Since get_dwarf_regnum() is currently used only by 'perf annotate' and
does not affect kprobe-tracer, replace the limited table-based lookup
with a programmatic implementation in __get_dwarf_regnum_arm64(). This
allows resolving arm64 register names (x0-x30, w0-w30, sp, etc.) directly
into their corresponding DWARF register numbers.

perf dwarf-regs: Add SIMD/eGPRs support for x86 DWARF registers

2026-09-14T18:35:05+00:00

Enhance the x86-specific DWARF register handling by adding support for
SIMD and eGPRs registers.

This update is based on the "DWARF Register Number Mapping" table from
the "System V Application Binary Interface AMD64 Architecture Processor
Supplement" (version 1.0).

Modifications include:
- Updating the x86_64_regidx_table[] array to incorporate SIMD and eGPRs
  registers.
- Enhancing the __get_dwarf_regnum_for_perf_regnum_x86_64() function to
  retrieve the DWARF register index for eGPRs.

Since currently libdw doesn't support SIMD and APX eGPRs registers yet,
still keep the original return value for get_libdw_frame_nregs() helper.

perf dwarf-regs: Add MIPS perf to DWARF register number mapping functions

2026-01-20T18:43:56+00:00

Despite an unused function declaration, there was no unwind-libdw for
MIPS but there is a perf_regs.h and a libdw implementation.

Fill in the pieces so hopefully MIPS unwinding with libdw works.

These functions allow the generic initial register state code in
unwind-libdw to be used.

Note, the link register was being coped to DWARF register 65 that the
SysV ABI spec claims is FPSCR. It is corrected here to 108, but this is
unlikely to matter as FPSCR has little to no impact on unwinding.
