Subject: [PATCH 1/1] tools headers UAPI: Sync x86's asm/kvm.h with the kernel
 sources

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:

  fddd07626baa419c ("KVM: x86: Define AMD's #HV, #VC, and #SX exception vectors")
  f2f5519aa4e3ec4e ("KVM: x86: Define Control Protection Exception (#CP) vector")
  9d6812d415358372 ("KVM: x86: Enable guest SSP read/write interface with new uAPIs")
  06f2969c6a1237f0 ("KVM: x86: Introduce KVM_{G,S}ET_ONE_REG uAPIs support")

That just rebuilds kvm-stat.c on x86, no change in functionality.

This silences these perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
    diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h

Please see tools/include/uapi/README for further details.
