Every architecture can provide a register list for sampling. If an architecture doesn't support register sampling, it won't define the data structure 'sample_reg_masks'. Consequently, any code using this structure must be protected by the macro 'HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT'. This patch defines a weak function, arch__sample_reg_masks(), which will be replaced by an architecture-defined function for returning the architecture's register list. With this refactoring, the function always exists, the condition checking for 'HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' is not needed anymore, so remove it.

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.
