CVE: NA
Reference: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/7/26/599
--------------------------------
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.
