Hi all,

I find to my surprise that "perf top" does not work for arm64:

root@ubuntu:/home/john/linux# tools/perf/perf top
Couldn't read the cpuid for this machine: No such file or directory


Hi Jirka,

there was recent change that check on cpuid and quits:
608127f73779 perf top: Initialize perf_env->cpuid, needed by the per arch annotation init routine


ok, this is new code. I obviously didn't check the git history...

But, apart from this, there are many other places where get_cpuid() is called. I wonder what else we're missing out on, and whether we should still add it.

Thanks,
John

Arnaldo,
maybe this should be just a warning/info, because it seems to be related
to annotations only..?

get_cpuid is defined only for s390/x86/powerpc, so I guess it won't work
on the rest as well

That's v5.5-rc1 release.

It seems that we are just missing an arm64 version of get_cpuid() - with the
patch below, I now get as hoped:

PerfTop: 32857 irqs/sec kernel:85.0% exact: 0.0% lost: 0/0 drop: 0/0

Was this just missed? Or is there a good reason to omit?

Thanks,
John
