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:

  6ffd853b0b10e1e2 ("build_bug.h: correct function parameters names in kernel-doc")

That just add some comments, addressing this perf tools build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
    diff -u tools/include/linux/build_bug.h include/linux/build_bug.h

Please take a look at tools/include/uapi/README for further info on this
synchronization process.

v2: Fix summary typo and update the tools copy, not the original, as
spotted by Ian Rogers.
