    perf parse-regs: Refactor arch register parsing functions · 5000e7f6
    Leo Yan authored
    Every architecture has a specific register parsing function for
    returning register name based on register index, to support cross
    analysis (e.g. we use perf x86 binary to parse Arm64's perf data), we
    build all these register parsing functions into the tool, this is why
    we place all related functions into util/perf_regs.c.
    
    Unfortunately, since util/perf_regs.c needs to include every arch's
    perf_regs.h, this easily introduces duplicated definitions coming from
    multiple headers, finally it's fragile for building and difficult for
    maintenance.
    
    We cannot simply move these register parsing functions into the
    corresponding 'arch' folder, the folder is only conditionally built
    based on the target architecture.
    
    Therefore, this commit creates a new folder util/perf-regs-arch/ and
    uses a dedicated source file to keep every architecture's register
    parsing function to avoid definition conflicts.
    
    This is only a refactoring, no functionality change is expected.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    Had to add util/perf-regs-arch/*.c to tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
    to keep 'perf test python' passing.
