The register parsing have two levels: one level is under 'arch' folder,
another level is under 'util' folder. A good design is 'arch' folder
handles architecture specific operations and provides APIs for upper
layer, on the other hand, 'util' folder should be general and simply
calls APIs to talk to arch layer.
The current code mixes these two layers, e.g. util/perf_regs.h includes
architecture's perf_regs.h, so it implicitly couples with specific
architecture during building time. Furthermore, util/perf_regs.c
includes all architectures' perf_regs.h, this is easily to cause conflict
due to duplicated definitions from any two different archs.
So this patch series is to refactor arch related functions for register
parsing:
Firstly, it creates a new folder util/perf-regs-arch and uses dedicated
source file for every arch, note, all of these source files will be
built in tool to support cross analysis (e.g. we can run perf on x86
machine for parsing aarch64's perf data file).
Secondly, rather than directly referring macros, we introduce new
functions, these functions are provided by architecture and then will be
invoked by perf common code. At the end, we can generalize the register
parsing in 'util' folder.
This patch series has been compiled successfully on my Arm64 and x86
machine.
Leo Yan (5):
perf parse-regs: Refactor arch register parsing functions

perf parse-regs: Remove unused macros PERF_REG_{IP|SP}
perf parse-regs: Remove PERF_REGS_{MAX|MASK} from common code
perf parse-regs: Move out arch specific header from util/perf_regs.h
