[PATCH v4] perf record: Add support for arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() on s390
Posted by Thomas Richter 2 weeks, 5 days ago
V4: Add comments from Ian and Sashiko:
    Reset variable initialized to zero on error
    Rework regular expression and reduce to one case.
V3: Add comments from Ian
    Print register expression without leading 'r' (wrong).
V2: Add comments from Sumanth Koirkkar

commit e5e66adfe45a6 ("perf regs: Remove __weak attributive arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() function")
removes arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() functions and reveals missing s390 support.
The following warning is printed:

  Unknown ELF machine 22, standard arguments parse will be skipped.

ELF machine 22 is the EM_S390 host. This happens with command
  # ./perf record -v -- stress-ng -t 1s --matrix 0
on a z/VM system when the event is not specified.

Add s390 specific __perf_sdt_arg_parse_op_s390() function to support
-architecture calls to arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() for s390.
The warning disappears.

nit: these need to be placed after a line of "---" so that git mailbox
won't include it in the commit message.

nit: Sashiko notes this comment may be stale:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260318113416.2287472-1-tmricht%40linux.ibm.com

This isn't a bug, but the comment mentions converting the OP into the
+/-NUM(%gprREG) format. Is this a leftover copy-paste from the PowerPC
implementation?

The actual s390 implementation correctly parses and outputs the %rREG format
as shown in the examples.

Thanks,
Ian
