🌸 __perf_evli...ntry_reverse — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, before we even start: yes, the header totally got cut off mid-word (it's __perf_evli...ntry_reverse(9) up there, the kernel manual's just being dramatic 💅). This is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey a tiny one — but it's cute and you're gonna slay it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

__perf_evlist__for_each_entry_reverse — iterate thru all the evsels in reverse order 🔄

like, it walks the whole list of evsels but backwards. main character energy: last one first, no cap. 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

__perf_evlist__for_each_entry_reverse (list , evsel );

that's it. two args, one macro, zero stress. 🧚

---

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• Kernel file ./tools/lib/perf/include/internal/evlist.h — go read the source, iykyk 📖
• __perf_evlist__for_each_entry(9) — the forwards version, if you're feeling ✨normal✨
• perf_evlist__for_each_entry_reverse(9) — reverse again, but the other flavor
• __perf_evlist__for_each_entry_safe(9) — the safe one, for when you're out here deleting stuff mid-loop 😭
• perf_evlist__for_each_entry_safe(9) — and its non-underscore sibling

fr fr, if you're touching entries while iterating, go check the _safe ones — the plain ones are giving "I will absolutely explode" 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie. go be iconic with your reverse iteration 🌈🦋💖
