[PATCH v1 09/41] perf header: Pass e_machine to strcmp_cpuid_str()

From: Ian Rogers

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 18:49:06 EST


The format of a CPUID depends on its architecture, but
strcmp_cpuid_str() is only given the two CPUID strings and its
architecture specific implementations assume the CPUIDs are for the
architecture perf was built for.

Pass the ELF machine of the CPUIDs' architecture to strcmp_cpuid_str()
so that CPUIDs can be compared according to their architecture rather
than the host's. The pmu-events tables pass their e_machine, comparisons
with the host's CPUID pass EM_HOST and the arm64 CPUID matching test
passes EM_AARCH64. The architecture specific implementations don't yet
use the argument.
