# git grep arch_perf_update_userpage
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:void arch_perf_update_userpage(struct perf_event_mmap_page *userpg, u64 now)
kernel/events/core.c:void __weak arch_perf_update_userpage(struct perf_event_mmap_page *userpg, u64 now)
kernel/events/core.c: arch_perf_update_userpage(userpg, now);


There's two definitions; one weak, and one usage site.
