2026-02-03perf capstone: Support for dlopen-ing libcapstone.soIan Rogers1-0/+33
If perf is built with LIBCAPSTONE_DLOPEN=1, support dlopen-ing libcapstone.so and then calling the necessary functions by looking them up using dlsym. The types come from capstone.h which means the libcapstone feature check needs to pass, and NO_CAPSTONE=1 hasn't been defined. This will cause the definition of HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT. Earlier versions of this code tried to declare the necessary capstone.h constants and structs, but they weren't stable and caused breakages across libcapstone releases.

2025-10-02perf capstone: Move capstone functionality into its own fileIan Rogers1-0/+24
Capstone disassembly support was split between disasm.c and print_insn.c. Move support out of these files into capstone.[ch] and remove include capstone/capstone.h from those files. As disassembly routines can fail, make failure the only option without HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT. For simplicity's sake, duplicate the read_symbol utility function. The intent with moving capstone support into a single file is that dynamic support, using dlopen for libcapstone, can be added in later patches. This can potentially always succeed or fail, so relying on ifdefs isn't sufficient. Using dlopen is a useful option to minimize the perf tools dependencies and potentially size.
