perf build: Remove Makefile.syscalls

2025-03-21T05:58:20+00:00

Now a single beauty file is generated and used by all architectures, remove the per-architecture Makefiles, Kbuild files and previous generator script. Note: there was conversation with Charlie Jenkins and they'd written an alternate approach to support multiple architectures: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250114-perf_syscall_arch_runtime-v1-1-5b304e408e11@rivosinc.com/ It would have been better to have helped Charlie fix their series (my apologies) but they agreed that the approach taken here was likely best for longer term maintainability: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Z6Jk_UN9i69QGqUj@ghost/ Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Reviewed-by: Howard Chu Reviewed-by: Charlie Jenkins Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250319050741.269828-11-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

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 alpha: Support syscall header

2025-01-09T15:54:54+00:00

alpha uses a syscall table, use that in perf instead of requiring libaudit.

perf tools: Add empty Build files for architectures lacking them

2015-08-06T19:24:15+00:00

perf currently fails to build on MIPS as there is no tools/perf/arch/mips/Build file. Adding an empty file fixes this as there are no MIPS-specific sources to build. It looks like the same is needed for Alpha and PA-RISC, though I haven't been able to test those.
