The rule for tools/perf is "don't impose _any requirement_ on the kernel
developers, they don't have to test if any change they do outside of
tools/ will break something inside tools/."

Yeah, I even moved that from tools/arch/x86/include/asm/irq_vectors.h
to tools/perf/trace/beauty/arch/x86/include/asm/irq_vectors.h (for next
merge window).

Having it in tools/arch/x86/include/asm/irq_vectors.h was a bad decision
as it, as you mentinoned, is only used to generate string tables:

⬢[acme@...lbox perf-tools-next]$ tools/perf/trace/beauty/tracepoints/x86_irq_vectors.sh 
static const char *x86_irq_vectors[] = {
	[0x02] = "NMI",
	[0x80] = "IA32_SYSCALL",
	[0xec] = "LOCAL_TIMER",
	[0xed] = "HYPERV_STIMER0",
	[0xee] = "HYPERV_REENLIGHTENMENT",
	[0xef] = "MANAGED_IRQ_SHUTDOWN",

	[0xff] = "SPURIOUS_APIC",
};

But as the original cset introducing this explains, these irq_vectors:
tracepoins operate on just one of the vectors, so irq_work_entry(vector:
IRQ_WORK), irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE), etc.

nah, the best thing these days is stop using 'int' for vector and use
'enum irq_vector', then since we have BTF we can use that to do the enum
-> string translation, like with (using /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux, that is
pretty much available everywhere these days):

root@...ber:~# pahole clocksource_ids
enum clocksource_ids {
	CSID_GENERIC          = 0,
	CSID_ARM_ARCH_COUNTER = 1,
	CSID_MAX              = 2,
};

root@...ber:~# pahole skb_drop_reason | head
enum skb_drop_reason {
	SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET                     = 0,
	SKB_CONSUMED                            = 1,
	SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED           = 2,
	SKB_DROP_REASON_NO_SOCKET               = 3,
	SKB_DROP_REASON_PKT_TOO_SMALL           = 4,
	SKB_DROP_REASON_TCP_CSUM                = 5,
	SKB_DROP_REASON_SOCKET_FILTER           = 6,
	SKB_DROP_REASON_UDP_CSUM                = 7,
	SKB_DROP_REASON_NETFILTER_DROP          = 8,
root@...ber:~#

Then its easy to go from 0 to CSID_GENERIC, etc.
