Hello Atish! I get linker error if CONFIG_RISCV_PMU_LEGACY is not set: riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: drivers/perf/riscv_pmu_sbi.o: in function `pmu_sbi_device_probe': linux/drivers/perf/riscv_pmu_sbi.c:688: undefined reference to `riscv_pmu_legacy_init' It looks like you need some guards or a dummy function for riscv_pmu_legacy_init.
