Yes, it's supported.

But I never tested this before, so I just compiled libunwind for
aarch64, and tested unwinding i686 perf.data on aarch64. Then I
found another issue I've considered but missed at some version of
this patch series.

In util/unwind-libunwind-local.c, PERF_REG_SP/IP is used, but
those macros are assigned to the host platform, we should
redefine them in the wrapper file, for example in
"util/libunwind/x86_32.c".

After fixing this problem, i686 perf.data can be parsed on
aarch64 machine. Since you've already applied the v9 patches,
should I send patches based on the lastest tree as bug fixes or
just update v9 patches?

Thank you.

Here is the modified part:
