After copying Arm64's perf archive with object files and perf.data file to x86 laptop, the x86's perf kernel symbol resolution fails. It outputs 'unknown' for all symbols parsing. This issue is root caused by the function elf__needs_adjust_symbols(), x86 perf tool uses one weak version, Arm64 (and powerpc) has rewritten their own version. elf__needs_adjust_symbols() decides if need to parse symbols with the relative offset address; but x86 building uses the weak function which misses to check for the elf type 'ET_DYN', so that it cannot parse symbols in Arm DSOs due to the wrong result from elf__needs_adjust_symbols(). The DSO parsing should not depend on any specific architecture perf building; e.g. x86 perf tool can parse Arm and Arm64 DSOs, vice versa. And confirmed by Naveen N. Rao that powerpc64 kernels are not being built as ET_DYN anymore and change to ET_EXEC. This patch removes the arch specific functions for Arm64 and powerpc and changes elf__needs_adjust_symbols() as a common function. In the common elf__needs_adjust_symbols(), it checks an extra condition 'ET_DYN' for elf header type. With this fixing, the Arm64 DSO can be parsed properly with x86's perf tool.

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.
