subdir is added to the OUTPUT which fails as part of building
install_headers when passed from "make -C tools perf_install".
Committer testing:
The original reporter (see the Link: below) had trouble with this:
$ make -C tools perf_install
That ended up with errors like this:
/var/home/acme/git/perf-urgent/tools/scripts/Makefile.include:17: *** output directory "/var/home/acme/git/perf-urgent/tools/perf/libperf/perf/" does not exist. Stop.
With this patch applied we now get it installed at:
INSTALL /var/home/acme/git/perf-urgent/tools/perf/libperf/include/perf/bpf_perf.h
As expected:
$ ls -la /var/home/acme/git/perf-urgent/tools/perf/libperf/include/perf/bpf_perf.h
-rw-r--r--. 1 acme acme 1146 Jan 3 15:42 /var/home/acme/git/perf-urgent/tools/perf/libperf/include/perf/bpf_perf.h
And if we clean tools with:
$ make -C tools clean
it gets cleaned up:
$ ls -la /var/home/acme/git/perf-urgent/tools/perf/libperf/include/perf/bpf_perf.h
ls: cannot access '/var/home/acme/git/perf-urgent/tools/perf/libperf/include/perf/bpf_perf.h': No such file or directory

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.
