For X86, the var2_w field of PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT stands for the instruction latency. Current perf forces the var2_w to the data->ins_lat in the generic code. It works well for now because X86 is the only architecture that supports the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, but it may bring problems once other architectures support the sample type. For example, the var2_w may be used to capture something else on PowerPC. Create two architecture specific functions to parse and synthesize the weight related samples. Move the X86 specific codes to the X86 version functions. Other architectures can implement their own functions later separately.

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.
