perf kvm stat: Fix relative paths for including headers

2026-03-17T20:16:45+00:00

Add an extra "../" to the relative paths so that the uAPI headers
provided by tools can be found correctly.

perf kvm stat: Fix build error

2026-02-06T21:07:05+00:00

Since commit ceea279f9376 ("perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch
directory"), a native build on Arm64 machine reports:

  util/kvm-stat-arch/kvm-stat-x86.c:7:10: fatal error: asm/svm.h: No such file or directory
    7 | #include 
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
  compilation terminated.

The build fails to find x86's asm headers when building for Arm64.  Fix
this by including asm headers with relative path instead.

perf kvm: Wire up e_machine

2026-02-03T21:01:27+00:00

Pass the e_machine to the kvm functions so that they aren't just wired
to EM_HOST.

In the case of a session move some setup until the session
is created.

As the session isn't fully running the default EM_HOST is returned as no
e_machine can be found in a running machine.

This is, however, some marginal progress to cross platform support.

perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directory

2026-02-03T21:01:27+00:00

`perf kvm stat` supports record and report options.

By using the arch directory a report for a different machine type cannot
be supported.

Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and into
util/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs.

Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecture
name within them.

For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function.
Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected by
EM_HOST, ie no different than before the change.

Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a header
feature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record).

The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so remove
across Makefiles and in the build.

Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.
