[PATCH v4 16/16] perf tools: Remove dependency on libaudit

Charlie Jenkins charlie at rivosinc.com
Wed Dec 18 09:24:14 UTC 2024


All architectures now support HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT, so the flag is
no longer needed. With the removal of the flag, the related
GENERIC_SYSCALL_TABLE can also be removed. libaudit was only used as a
fallback for when HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT was not defined, so
libaudit is also no longer needed for any architecture.
