[PATCH v2 0/6] perf parse-regs: Refactor architecture functions

[Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>]

This patch series is to refactor arch related functions for register
parsing, which follows up the discussion for v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230520025537.1811986-1-leo.yan@linaro.org/

Compared to patch series v1, this patch series introduces new functions
perf_arch_reg_{ip|sp}(), so this can allow the tool to support cross
analysis.

To verify the cross analysis, I used below steps:

- Firstly, I captured perf data on Arm64 machine:

  $ perf record --call-graph fp -- ./test_program

  Or ...

  $ perf record --call-graph dwarf -- ./test_program

  Then, I also archived associated debug data:

  $ perf archive

- Secondly, I copied the perf data file and debug tar file on my x86
  machine:

  $ scp perf.data perf.data.tar.bz2 leoy@IP_ADDRESS:/target/path/

- On x86 machine, I need to build perf for support multi-arch unwinding:

  $ git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/libunwind.git
  $ cd libunwind
  $ autoreconf -i

  # Build and install libunwind aarch64:
  $ ./configure prefix=/home/leoy/Work/tools/libunwind/install/ \
	--target=aarch64-linux-gnu CC=x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
  $ make && make install

  # Build and install libunwind x86:
  $ ./configure prefix=/home/leoy/Work/tools/libunwind/install/ \
	--target=x86_64-linux-gnu CC=x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
  $ make && make install

- Build perf tool for support multi-archs:

  $ cd $LINUX/tools/perf
  $ make VF=1 DEBUG=1 LIBUNWIND_DIR=/home/leoy/Work/tools/libunwind/install

At the end, I verified the x86 perf tool can do cross analysis for aarch64's
perf data file.

Note, I still see x86 perf tool cannot display the complete callgraph
for aarch64, but it should not the issue caused by this series, which
will be addressed by separate patches.

I also built this patch series on my Arm64 and x86 machines, both can
compile perf tool successfully; but I have no chance to build other
archs natively.

Changes from v1:
- For support cross analysis for IP/SP registers, introduced patch 0002
  (James Clark, Ian Rogers).
