Linux kernel source tree
5000e7f61a
Every architecture has a specific register parsing function for returning register name based on register index, to support cross analysis (e.g. we use perf x86 binary to parse Arm64's perf data), we build all these register parsing functions into the tool, this is why we place all related functions into util/perf_regs.c. Unfortunately, since util/perf_regs.c needs to include every arch's perf_regs.h, this easily introduces duplicated definitions coming from multiple headers, finally it's fragile for building and difficult for maintenance. We cannot simply move these register parsing functions into the corresponding 'arch' folder, the folder is only conditionally built based on the target architecture. Therefore, this commit creates a new folder util/perf-regs-arch/ and uses a dedicated source file to keep every architecture's register parsing function to avoid definition conflicts. This is only a refactoring, no functionality change is expected. Committer notes: Had to add util/perf-regs-arch/*.c to tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources to keep 'perf test python' passing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
