<content type='text'>
tldr; Just FYI, I'm carrying this on the perf tools tree.

Full explanation:

There used to be no copies, with tools/ code using kernel headers
directly. From time to time tools/perf/ broke due to legitimate kernel
hacking. At some point Linus complained about such direct usage. Then we
adopted the current model.

The way these headers are used in perf are not restricted to just
including them to compile something.

There are sometimes used in scripts that convert defines into string
tables, etc, so some change may break one of these scripts, or new MSRs
may use some different #define pattern, etc.

E.g.:

  $ ls -1 tools/perf/trace/beauty/*.sh | head -5
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/arch_errno_names.sh
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/drm_ioctl.sh
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsconfig.sh
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsmount.sh
  $
  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
  static const char *fadvise_advices[] = {
        [0] = "NORMAL",
        [1] = "RANDOM",
        [2] = "SEQUENTIAL",
        [3] = "WILLNEED",
        [4] = "DONTNEED",
        [5] = "NOREUSE",
  };
  $

The tools/perf/check-headers.sh script, part of the tools/ build
process, points out changes in the original files.

So its important not to touch the copies in tools/ when doing changes in
the original kernel headers, that will be done later, when
check-headers.sh inform about the change to the perf tools hackers.

The users of sysreg.h (perf, KVM selftests) are now generating the
necessary sysreg-defs.h; sync sysreg.h with the kernel sources and
fix the KVM selftests that use macros which suffered a rename.

Use a common Makefile for generating sysreg-defs.h, which will soon be
needed by perf and KVM selftests. The naming scheme of the generated
macros is not expected to change, so just refer to the canonical
script/data in the kernel source rather than copying to tools.

<id>urn:sha1:6e8d96909a23c8078ee965bd48bb31cbef2de943</id>
<content type='text'>
Unifying the asm-generic headers across 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
based on the compiler provided macros was a good idea and appears to work
with all user space, but it caused a regression when building old kernels
on systems that have the new headers installed in /usr/include, as this
combination trips an inconsistency in the kernel's own tools/include
headers that are a mix of userspace and kernel-internal headers.

This affects kernel builds on arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64 systems that
might end up using the "#define __BITS_PER_LONG 32" default from the old
tools headers. Backporting the commit into stable kernels would address
this, but it would still break building kernels without that backport,
and waste time for developers trying to understand the problem.

arm64 build machines are rather common, and on riscv64 this can also
happen in practice, but loongarch64 is probably new enough to not
be used much for building old kernels, so only revert the bits
for arm64 and riscv.

To get the changes in:

  e910baa9c1efdf76 ("KVM: arm64: vgic: Add Apple M2 PRO/MAX cpus to the list of broken SEIS implementations")

That makes this perf source code to be rebuilt:

  CC      /tmp/build/perf-tools/util/arm-spe.o

The changes in the above patch don't affect things that are used in
arm-spe.c (things like MIDR_NEOVERSE_N1, etc). Unsure if Apple M2 has
SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) :-)

That addresses this perf build warning:

Now we specify the minimal version of GCC as 5.1 and Clang/LLVM as 11.0.0
in Documentation/process/changes.rst, __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__ are
usable, it is probably fine to unify the definition of __BITS_PER_LONG as
(__CHAR_BIT__ * __SIZEOF_LONG__) in asm-generic uapi bitsperlong.h.

In order to keep safe and avoid regression, only unify uapi bitsperlong.h
for some archs such as arm64, riscv and loongarch which are using newer
toolchains that have the definitions of __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__.

  89b0e7de3451a17f ("KVM: arm64: nv: Introduce nested virtualization VCPU feature")
  14329b825ffb7f27 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Introduce masked events to the pmu event filter")

  14329b825ffb7f27 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Introduce masked events to the pmu event filter")

That don't change functionality in tools/perf, as no new ioctl is added
for the 'perf trace' scripts to harvest.

This addresses these perf build warnings:
