![]() When reading a perf.data file with register values, there is a mismatch between the names and the values of the registers because the tool is built using only the register names from the local architecture. Reading a perf.data file that was recorded on ARM64, gives the following erroneous output on an X86 machine: # perf report -i perf_arm64.data -D [...] 24661932634451 0x698 [0x21d0]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x1): 43239/43239: 0xffffc5be8f100f98 period: 1 addr: 0 ... user regs: mask 0x1ffffffff ABI 64-bit ....
