[PATCH v1 3/5] perf tools arm64: Add support for get_cpuid() function

From: Zenghui Yu
Date: Wed Jun 12 2019 - 05:19:38 EST


The get_cpuid() function returns the MIDR string of the first CPU.

When recording, perf will write host's cpuid (through get_cpuid()) into
perf.data.guest file:

__cmd_record
record__finish_output
perf_session__write_header
perf_header__adds_write
do_write_feat (type == HEADER_CPUID)
write_cpuid

When reporting, perf will read cpuid from perf.data.guest file:

read_events
perf_session__new
perf_session__open
perf_session__read_header
perf_header__process_sections
perf_file_section__process
process_cpuid

I'm not familiar with ARM ID register usage, and how does perf code make
use of get_cpuid() function. If we left get_cpuid() unimplemented on
arm64 (we have a default implementation in tools/perf/util/header.c),
'perf kvm stat report' will failed with following error:
"Failed to look up CPU type"

I will read the code further, and any comments or suggestions from both
sides (arm64 & perf) will be appreciated.
