Subject: [PATCH 13/23] tools headers UAPI: Sync sched.h with the kernel

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

To get the changes in:

  769071ac9f20 ("ns: Introduce Time Namespace")

Silencing this tools/perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/sched.h'
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/sched.h include/uapi/linux/sched.h

Which enables 'perf trace' to decode the CLONE_NEWTIME bit in the
'flags' argument to the clone syscalls.

Example of clone flags being decoded:

  [root@...co ~]# perf trace -e clone*
       0.000 qemu-system-x8/23923 clone(clone_flags: VM|FS|FILES|SIGHAND|THREAD|SYSVSEM|SETTLS|PARENT_SETTID|CHILD_CLEARTID, newsp: 0x7f0dad7f9870, parent_tidptr: 0x7f0dad7fa9d0, child_tidptr: 0x7f0dad7fa9d0, tls: 0x7f0dad7fa700) = 6806 (qemu-system-x86)
           ? qemu-system-x8/6806  ... [continued]: clone())              = 0
  ^C[root@...co ~]#

At some point this should enable things like:

  # perf trace -e 'clone*/clone_flags&NEWTIME/'
