Subject: [PATCH 1/1 fyi] tools headers UAPI: Sync powerpc syscall table with
 the kernel sources

tldr; Just FYI, I'm carrying this on the perf tools tree.

- Arnaldo

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 these csets:

  ce883a2ba310cd7c ("powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments")

That doesn't cause any changes in the perf tools.

This table is used in tools perf to allow features as described in the
last update to this file.

This addresses this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/arch/powerpc/entry/syscalls/syscall.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/powerpc/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl'
