[RFT PATCH v2 5/7] perf-iostat: Extend iostat interface to support different iostat PMUs

From: Yushan Wang

Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 02:38:48 EST


From: Shiju Jose <shiju.jose@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, platform-specific iostat code for PMUs is implemented as a
common iostat callback interface and linked during build. This approach
limits support for iostat across different implementations of PMU of the
same architecture.

To address this, extend common iostat interface to provide support for
different PMUs by allowing each PMU to register itself and receive
callbacks to its PMU-specific functions through the unified iostat
framework.
