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.

To pick the changes in:

  89d01306e34d6ace ("RISC-V: KVM: Implement device interface for AIA irqchip")
  22725266bdf95bdd ("KVM: Fix comment for KVM_ENABLE_CAP")
  2f440b72e852be42 ("KVM: arm64: Add KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE")

That just rebuilds perf, as these patches don't add any new KVM ioctl to
be harvested for the the 'perf trace' ioctl syscall argument
beautifiers.

This addresses this perf build warning:

<title>KVM: x86: Remove the KVM_GET_NR_MMU_PAGES ioctl</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c5edd753a0bd6243a597f5199c227a50457ee179</id>
<content type='text'>
The KVM_GET_NR_MMU_PAGES ioctl is quite questionable on 64-bit hosts
since it fails to return the full 64 bits of the value that can be
set with the corresponding KVM_SET_NR_MMU_PAGES call. Its "long" return
value is truncated into an "int" in the kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() function.

Since this ioctl also never has been used by userspace applications
(QEMU, Google's internal VMM, kvmtool and CrosVM have been checked),
it's likely the best if we remove this badly designed ioctl before
anybody really tries to use it.

To pick up the changes in:

  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:

That just rebuilds perf, as these patches don't add any new KVM ioctl to
be harvested for the the 'perf trace' ioctl syscall argument
beautifiers.

This is also by now used by tools/testing/selftests/kvm/, a simple test
build didn't succeed, but for another reason:

  lib/kvm_util.c: In function ‘vm_enable_dirty_ring’:
  lib/kvm_util.c:125:30: error: ‘KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING’?
    125 |         if (vm_check_cap(vm, KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL))
        |                              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        |                              KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING

I'll send a separate patch for that.

There are still references to the removed kvm_memory_region data structure
but the doc and comments should mention struct kvm_userspace_memory_region
instead, since that is what's used by the ioctl that replaced the old one
and this data structure support the same set of flags.
