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.
See further details at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/include/uapi/README
To pick the changes in this cset:
56101b69c9190667 ("uprobes/x86: Add uprobe syscall to speed up uprobe")
That add support for this new 'uprobe' syscall in tools such as 'perf trace'.
Now it is possible to do a system wide 'perf trace' to look if this new
syscall is being used:
root@number:~# perf trace -v -e uprobe
<SNIP>
event qualifier tracepoint filter: (common_pid != 33989) && (id == 336)
^C
root@number#
$ grep -w uprobe tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
336 common uprobe sys_uprobe
$
This addresses these perf build warnings:
Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
diff -u tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
Please see tools/include/uapi/README for further details.
