On my aarch64 big endian machine, the perf annotate does not work. # perf annotate Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms] for cycles (253 samples, percent: local period) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms] for cycles (1 samples, percent: local period) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms] for cycles (47 samples, percent: local period) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... This is because the arch_find() function uses the normalized architecture name provided by normalize_arch(), and my machine's architecture name aarch64_be is not normalized to arm64. Like other architectures such as arm and powerpc, we can fuzzy match the architecture names associated with aarch64.* and normalize them. It seems that there is also arm64_be architecture name, which we also normalize to arm64.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
