Subject: perf annotate-data: Add invalidate_reg_state() helper for x86
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=22b320777c5f496a36867f16f18870e67b123020;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

perf annotate-data: Add invalidate_reg_state() helper for x86

Add a helper function to consistently invalidate register state instead
of field assignments. This ensures kind, ok, and copied_from are all
properly cleared when a register becomes invalid.

The helper sets:
- kind = TSR_KIND_INVALID
- ok = false
- copied_from = -1

Replace all invalidation patterns with calls to this helper. No
functional change and this removes some incorrect annotations that were
caused by incomplete invalidation (e.g. a obsolete copied_from from an
invalidated register).
