riscv now supports mmaping hardware counters so add what's needed to
take advantage of that in libperf.

This is something of an odd guard, perhaps:
#elif defined(__riscv) && __riscv_xlen == 64

That way it is more intention revealing that this is riscv code. Could
you add a comment relating to the __riscv_xlen ?
I guess Andrew answered that already.
Not sure. I still think it looks weird:
...
#if defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__)
...
#elif defined(__aarch64__)
...
#elif __riscv_xlen == 64
...
#else
static u64 read_perf_counter(unsigned int counter __maybe_unused) { return 0; }
static u64 read_timestamp(void) { return 0; }
#endif

The first two are clearly #ifdef-ing architecture specific assembly
code, under what conditions I get RISC-V code  ¯\(ツ)/¯ At least worth
a comment like "csrr is only available when you have xlens of 64
because ..."
__riscv_xlen indicates riscv64, which is the only target of this
patchset. But if you prefer, I don't mind adding back the
defined(__riscv) if I re-spin a new version.
I mean, -Wundef is a thing that will scream at you if you evaluate a
macro that’s undefined and get an implicit 0, and parts of the linux
build seem to enable it. So I would strongly recommend against
(ab)using that feature of the preprocessor, especially when it aligns
with greater clarity.

Jess
