The powerpc auxtrace dispatch lives entirely in arch/powerpc/util/auxtrace.c. As new PMUs such as HTM are added, this file would grow to contain the recording logic for all of them. Factor out the VPA-DTL recording initializer into its own file, arch/powerpc/util/vpa-dtl.c, and reduce auxtrace.c to a thin dispatch layer. auxtrace_record__init() now detects the PMU by name and calls the appropriate per-PMU init function: - vpa_dtl_recording_init() for VPA-DTL events (unchanged behaviour) - Further PMU entries will follow in subsequent patches This makes room in auxtrace_record__init() for the HTM recording path added in the next patch without growing a single monolithic file. Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev <redacted> --- Changes in V3: Add #include <linux/zalloc.h> to vpa-dtl.c; without it the compiler treats zalloc() as implicitly returning int, truncating the upper 32 bits of the returned pointer on 64-bit PowerPC. Changes in V2: - Renamed the destination file from arch/powerpc/util/vpa-dtl.c (same name, unchanged) but the subject and commit message are reworded to clearly state that the goal is to make auxtrace_record__init() a thin per-PMU dispatcher, not merely to "allow multiple PMUs to use auxtrace". - Handle failure from memory allocation - Included stdlib and limits.h - No functional change to the VPA-DTL path itself. - Patch is now 1/6 instead of 1/9. tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build | 1 + tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/auxtrace.c | 84 +++------------------- tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/vpa-dtl.c | 96 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/perf/util/powerpc-vpadtl.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 106 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/vpa-dtl.c
