Update the copies of files affected by:
c8ffd8bcdd28 ("vfs: add faccessat2 syscall")
To address this perf build warning:
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h'
diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h include/uapi/linux/fcntl.h
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h'
diff -u tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl'
diff -u tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
Which results in 'perf trace' gaining support for the 'faccessat2'
syscall, now one can use:
# perf trace -e faccessat2
And have system wide tracing of this syscall. And this also will include
it;
# perf trace -e faccess*
Together with the other variants.
How it affects building/usage (on an x86_64 system):
$ cp /tmp/build/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c /tmp/syscalls_64.c.before
$
[root@five ~]# perf trace -e faccessat2
event syntax error: 'faccessat2'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

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.
