linux-toradex.git/tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h, branch v4.10-rc1 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules tools: Add copy of perf_event.h to tools/include/linux/ 2016-07-12T18:20:31+00:00 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo acme@redhat.com 2016-07-11T13:28:48+00:00 c4b6014e8bb0c8d47fe5c71ebc604f31091e5d3f We shouldn't use headers from the kernel sources directly, instead we should use the system's headers or in cases where that isn't possible, like with perf_event.h, where the introduction of kernel features such as perf_event_attr.{write_backwards,sample_max_stack} and PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT take some time to become available in /usr/include/linux/perf_event.h we need a copy. Do it and check for source code drift, emitting a warning when changes are detected.

We shouldn't use headers from the kernel sources directly, instead we
should use the system's headers or in cases where that isn't possible,
like with perf_event.h, where the introduction of kernel features such
as perf_event_attr.{write_backwards,sample_max_stack} and
PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT take some time to become available in
/usr/include/linux/perf_event.h we need a copy.

Do it and check for source code drift, emitting a warning when changes
are detected.
