To allow the build to complete on older systems, where those files are either not uptodate, lacking some recent additions or not present at all. And check if the copy drifts from the kernel. This commit is similar with commit 12f020338a2c ("tools: Copy uapi/asm/perf_regs.h from the kernel") With this commit, we can avoid the following build error in any case: tools/perf/arch/mips/include/perf_regs.h:7:10: fatal error: asm/perf_regs.h: No such file or directory #include <asm/perf_regs.h> ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
