Subject: [PATCH] perf build: Fix compiler errors with old capstone
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 11:28:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701182824.347941-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
It seems RISCV was added in capstone version 5. Unfortunately they are
enum constants so cannot check with #ifdef but anyway we can define the
symbols. Let's do it using the version number to avoid build errors.
It'll fail at runtime though.
util/capstone.c: In function 'e_machine_to_capstone':
util/capstone.c:186:25: error: 'CS_ARCH_RISCV' undeclared (first use in this function);
did you mean 'CS_ARCH_SYSZ'?
186 | *arch = CS_ARCH_RISCV;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| CS_ARCH_SYSZ
util/capstone.c:186:25: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
util/capstone.c:187:34: error: 'CS_MODE_RISCV64' undeclared (first use in this function);
did you mean 'CS_MODE_MIPS64'?
187 | *mode |= (is64 ? CS_MODE_RISCV64 : CS_MODE_RISCV32) | CS_MODE_RISCVC;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| CS_MODE_MIPS64
Also note that capstone renamed CS_MODE_RISCVC to CS_MODE_RISCV_C which
would cause a different build failure on latest versions. It's reported
in https://github.com/capstone-engine/capstone/issues/2977 so I think
they will add compatibility layer to prevent the error.
Fixes: 12c4737f55f2 ("perf capstone: Determine architecture from e_machine")
