Thank you for review! I agree. So I would split the patch.

I tried to correct the alphabetical order because it was vaguely sorted.
And I'll try to work on blame history on each arch code block as well.

May I ask documentation or hint that I can help work with?

P.S.

I'm interested in the Google Summer Of code perf category this year,
especially the part about risc-v architecture, I recently purchased a
development board and would like to be able to test perf on a Sifive U74
CPU based environment.
But I've only used perf with command tool and don't know much about the
internals, so if there is a roadmap for perf development or
contribution, I have interest in perf internals both kernel and user side.
May I ask information to apply?
I am developing Linux Security Driver drivers for a security company.
