Subject: [Patch v8 18/23] perf/x86: Support eGPRs sampling using sample_regs_* fields
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 15:56:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529075645.580362-19-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260529075645.580362-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>
This patch supports sampling of APX eGPRs (R16 ~ R31) via the
sample_regs_* fields.
To sample eGPRs, the sample_simd_regs_enabled field must be set. This
allows the spare space (reclaimed from the original XMM space) in the
sample_regs_* fields to be used for representing eGPRs.
The perf_reg_value() function needs to check if the
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_SIMD flag is set first, and then determine whether
to output eGPRs or legacy XMM registers to userspace.
The perf_reg_validate() function first checks the simd_enabled argument
to determine if the eGPRs bitmap is represented in sample_regs_* fields.
It then validates the eGPRs bitmap accordingly.
Currently, eGPRs sampling is only supported on the x86_64 architecture, as
APX is only available on x86_64 platforms.
Please note eGPRs sampling is not enabled yet, it will be enabled in a
later patch when PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS is set.
