[PATCH] alpha: add simd_enabled argument to perf_reg_validate()
From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Wed Oct 21 2026 - 04:21:34 EST
Align the alpha function with the generic function signature.
The alpha function was added in commit 9280e99d87dd ("alpha: add
HAVE_PERF_REGS and HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP support") while the
generic function signature was changed in commit a2c64c74c029 ("perf:
Enhance perf_reg_validate() with simd_enabled argument").
After both commits landed in Linus' tree the signatures now differ,
resulting in a build error:
arch/alpha/kernel/perf_regs.c:46:5: error: conflicting types for 'perf_reg_validate'; have 'int(u64)' {aka 'int(long long unsigned int)'}
46 | int perf_reg_validate(u64 mask)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from include/linux/perf_event.h:50,
from arch/alpha/kernel/perf_regs.c:4:
include/linux/perf_regs.h:13:5: note: previous declaration of 'perf_reg_validate' with type 'int(u64, bool)' {aka 'int(long long unsigned int, _Bool)'}
13 | int perf_reg_validate(u64 mask, bool simd_enabled);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Add the missing argument.
