Subject: [PATCH 1/1] tools headers: Sync uapi/linux/prctl.h with the kernel source
Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 12:58:32 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aQYuKOCLkAr23Quw@x1> (raw)
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.
See further details at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/include/uapi/README
To pick up the changes in these csets:
8cdc4d27019356b0 ("mm/huge_memory: respect MADV_COLLAPSE with PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED")
9dc21bbd62edeae6 ("prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to optionally exclude VM_HUGEPAGE")
That don't introduce anything of interest for the tools/, just
addressing these perf build warnings:
Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
diff -u tools/perf/trace/beauty/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h include/uapi/linux/prctl.h
Please see tools/include/uapi/README for further details.
