[PATCH V8 1/7] perf tools: confining __get_cpuid() to x86 architecture

Show all headers | View raw

The __get_cpuid() test is only valid when compiling for x86.
When compiling for other architectures like ARM/ARM64 the test
fails event if the functionality is not required.

This patch isolate the build-in feature check to x86 platform,
allowing the compilation and usage of PMUs that use the AUXTRACE
infrastructure on other architectures (i.e ARM CoreSight).
