[PATCH v2 2/2] perf tsc: Declare TSC support from the build system

Mon Sep 28 20:41:33 PDT 2026


The "TSC support" subtest of the "Convert perf time to TSC" test decides
whether the architecture is covered by matching compiler macros for
x86_64, i386 and arm64.  That list has to be edited for every new
architecture and can drift apart from the set of architectures that really
provide a counter.

Declare the capability where the implementation is, following the
PERF_HAVE_JITDUMP pattern: an architecture with a usable counter sets
PERF_HAVE_RDTSC in its arch Makefile, Makefile.config turns it into
-DHAVE_RDTSC, and the test keys off that.

x86 and arm64 keep the same behaviour, riscv starts running the subtest
where the previous patch defines rdtsc().

Changes in v2:
- Declare the capability through the build system instead of a weak
  arch__rdtsc_supported() hook.
