I see. The original words lead me think the commit e5e66adfe45a6 ("perf
regs: Remove __weak attributive arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() function") drops
the s390 specific support unexpectedly. :)

So precisely speaking, we may say "the commit e5e66adfe45a6 ("perf regs:
Remove __weak attributive arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() function") introducing
perf_sdt_arg_parse_op() to support architecture-specific argument parsing,
but s390 specific argument parsing is still not supported. So this patch
adds the missing support for s390 ..."

Thanks.
