[PATCH v8 42/58] perf powerpc-hcalls: Port powerpc-hcalls to use python module

Ian Rogers irogers at google.com
Tue Apr 28 00:18:47 PDT 2026


Ported from tools/perf/scripts/python/.
- Refactored the script to use a class structure (HCallAnalyzer) to
  encapsulate state.
- Used perf.session for event processing.
- Tracked hcall entry and exit to calculate duration and aggregate
  statistics.
- Moved the large hcall_table to a module-level constant HCALL_TABLE.
- Cleaned up Python 2 compatibility artifacts.
