Subject: [PATCH v6 5/5] perf evlist: Improve default event for s390
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 10:56:42 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317175642.161647-6-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317175642.161647-1-irogers@google.com>

Frame pointer callchains are not supported on s390 and dwarf
callchains are only supported on software events.

Switch the default event from the hardware 'cycles' event to the
software 'cpu-clock' or 'task-clock' on s390 if callchains are
enabled. Move the target initialization earlier in builtin-top so it
is ready for use by evlist__new_default.

If frame pointer callchains are requested on s390 show a
warning. Modify the '-g' option of `perf top` and `perf record` to
default to dwarf callchains on s390.
