However there is a proposal to deprecate it in the ACPI standard and, as such, would prefer that we don't add kernel support for it at this stage. So I am evaluating the alternative in the meantime, which again is some firmware method which should allow us to expose a system id to userspace via sysfs. Unfortunately this is arm specific. However, other archs can still provide their own method, maybe a soc driver: Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-soc#n15 > >> >>>> +static char *perf_pmu__getsysid(void) >>>> +{ >>>> + char *sysid; >>>> + static bool printed; >>>> + >>>> + sysid = getenv("PERF_SYSID"); >>>> + if (sysid) >>>> + sysid = strdup(sysid); >>>> + >>>> + if (!sysid) >>>> + sysid = get_sysid_str(); >>>> + if (!sysid) >>>> + return NULL; >>>> + >>>> + if (!printed) { >>>> + pr_debug("Using SYSID %s\n", sysid); >>>> + printed = true; >>>> + } >>>> + return sysid; >>>> +} >>> >>> this part is getting complicated and AFAIK we have no tests for it >>> >>> if you could think of any tests that'd be great..
