perf unwind-libunwind: Make libunwind register reading cross platform

2026-05-15T19:18:36Z

Move the libunwind register to perf register mapping functions in arch/../util/unwind-libunwind.c into a new libunwind-arch directory. Rename the functions to __get_perf_regnum_for_unw_regnum_. Add untested ppc32 and s390 functions. Add a get_perf_regnum_for_unw_regnum function that takes an ELF machine as well as a register number and chooses the appropriate architecture implementation. Split the x86 and powerpc 32 and 64-bit implementations apart so that a single libunwind-.h header is included. Move the e_machine into the unwind_info struct to make it easier to pass.

perf regs: Remove __weak attributive arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() function

2026-02-06T15:16:12Z

In line with the previous patch, the __weak arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() function is removed. Architectural-specific implementations in the arch/ directory are now converted into sub-functions within the util/perf-regs-arch/ directory. The perf_sdt_arg_parse_op() function will call these sub-functions based on the EM_HOST. This change enables cross-architecture calls to arch_sdt_arg_parse_op(). No functional changes are intended.

perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directory

2026-02-03T21:01:27Z

`perf kvm stat` supports record and report options. By using the arch directory a report for a different machine type cannot be supported. Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and into util/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs. Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecture name within them. For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function. Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected by EM_HOST, ie no different than before the change. Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a header feature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record). The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so remove across Makefiles and in the build. Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.

perf unwind-libdw: Fix a cross-arch unwinding bug

2026-01-20T16:00:39Z

The set_initial_registers field of Dwfl_Thread_Callbacks needs to be set according to the arch of the stack samples being analyzed, not the arch that perf itself is built for. Currently perf fails to unwind stack samples collected from archs different from that of the host perf is running on. This patch moves the arch-specific implementations of set_initial_registers from tools/perf/arch to tools/perf/utli/unwind-libdw-arch, similar to the way the perf-regs-arch folder contains arch-specific functions related to registers, and chooses the implementation based on the arch of the data being processed.

perf build: Remove NO_AUXTRACE build option

2025-11-14T07:03:11Z

The NO_AUXTRACE build option was used when the __get_cpuid feature test failed or if it was provided on the command line. The option no longer avoids a dependency on a library and so having the option is just adding complexity to the code base. Remove the option CONFIG_AUXTRACE from Build files and HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT by assuming it is always defined. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Reviewed-by: James Clark Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf powerpc: Add basic CONFIG_AUXTRACE support for VPA pmu on powerpc

2025-10-01T14:22:04Z

The powerpc PMU collecting Dispatch Trace Log (DTL) entries makes use of AUX support in perf infrastructure. The PMU driver has the functionality to collect trace entries in the aux buffer. On the tools side, this data is made available as PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE records. This record is generated by "perf record" command. To enable the creation of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE, add functions to initialize auxtrace records ie "auxtrace_record__init()". Fill in fields for other callbacks like info_priv_size, info_fill, free, recording options etc. Define auxtrace_type as PERF_AUXTRACE_VPA_DTL. Add header file to define vpa dtl pmu specific details.

perf sort: Use perf_env to set arch sort keys and header

2025-07-25T17:37:58Z

Previously arch_support_sort_key and arch_perf_header_entry used a weak symbol to compile as appropriate for x86 and powerpc. A limitation to this is that the handling of a data file could vary in cross-platform development. Change to using the perf_env of the current session to determine the architecture kind and set the sort key and header entries as appropriate.
