Subject: [PATCH 1/1 fyi] tools headers UAPI: Sync s390 syscall table file
 that wires up the memfd_secret syscall

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:

  7608f70adcb1ea69 ("s390: wire up memfd_secret system call")

That add support for this new syscall in tools such as 'perf trace'.

For instance, this is now possible (adapted from the x86_64 test output):

  # perf trace -v -e memfd_secret
  event qualifier tracepoint filter: (common_pid != 13375 && common_pid != 3713) && (id == 447)
  ^C#

That is the filter expression attached to the raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}
tracepoints.

  $ grep memfd_secret tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
  447    common  memfd_secret            sys_memfd_secret
  $

This addresses this perf build warnings:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/arch/s390/entry/syscalls/syscall.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/s390/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl'
  diff -u tools/perf/arch/s390/entry/syscalls/syscall.tbl arch/s390/kernel/syscalls/syscall.tbl
