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.
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.
But also to wire up shadow stacks on 32-bit x86, picking up those
changes from these csets:
ff388fe5c481d39c ("mseal: wire up mseal syscall")
2883f01ec37dd866 ("x86/shstk: Enable shadow stacks for x32")
This makes 'perf trace' support it, now its possible, for instance to
do:
# perf trace -e mseal --max-stack=16
Here is an example with the 'sendmmsg' syscall:
root@x1:~# perf trace -e sendmmsg --max-stack 16 --max-events=1
0.000 ( 0.062 ms): dbus-broker/1012 sendmmsg(fd: 150, mmsg: 0x7ffef57cca50, vlen: 1, flags: DONTWAIT|NOSIGNAL) = 1
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare ([kernel.kallsyms])
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare ([kernel.kallsyms])
syscall_exit_to_user_mode ([kernel.kallsyms])
do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
[0x117ce7] (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6 (deleted))
root@x1:~#
To do a system wide tracing of the new 'mseal' syscall with a backtrace
of at most 16 entries.
This addresses these perf tools build warnings:
