perf_evlist...ntry_reverse(9)

💅 perf_evlist__for_each_entry_reverse(9) — like, the whole Kernel API Manual vibe ✨

okay so bestie, real talk: this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little macro. No cap, it's a short one, but she's iconic in her own quiet way. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

perf_evlist__for_each_entry_reverse — literally iterates thru all the evsels, but backwards. reverse order. like when you scroll the group chat from the bottom up because you missed everything. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

perf_evlist__for_each_entry_reverse (evlist , evsel );

that's it. that's the whole call. she's compact, she's efficient, she said what she said. 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• evlist — the evlist instance you're gonna iterate over. your main character, your starting point, the whole squad. 👑
• evsel — your struct evsel iterator. this is the lil variable that walks the walk, one entry at a time (backwards, remember 💀).

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• the kernel file ./tools/lib/perf/include/internal/evlist.h — go read the source, it's giving lore ✨
• __perf_evlist__for_each_entry(9)
• __perf_evlist__for_each_entry_reverse(9)
• __perf_evlist__for_each_entry_safe(9)
• perf_evlist__for_each_entry_safe(9)

like yes, there's a whole family of these. the double-underscore ones, the _safe ones… collect them all, iykyk 🧚

---

ngl if you need forwards instead of reverse, that's a different page bestie — this one only does the backwards walk. no guessing, fr fr. 🙈

---

and that's the whole thing! source/version: ./tools/lib/perf/include/internal, dated October 2026, and she's filed under perf_evlist...ntry_reverse(9) in the Kernel API Manual. slay, go iterate responsibly 💖🌈⭐
