perf usage of arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

Hi,

tools/perf (and other tools/ living code) uses a file from the kernel, a
copy, so that we don't break its build when something changes in the
kernel that tooling uses.

There is this tools/perf/check-headers.sh that does the "copy coherency
check", while trying to act on such a warning I stumbled on the report
below.

More details at:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/include/uapi/README


If you could please take a look at this that would be great, the initial
copy was made at:

commit 1314376d495f2d79cc58753ff3034ccc503c43c9

    tools arm64: Import cputype.h
    
    Bring-in the kernel's arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h into tools/
    for arm64 to make use of all the core-type definitions in perf.
    
    Replace sysreg.h with the version already imported into tools/.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    Added an entry to tools/perf/check-headers.sh, so that we get notified
    when the original file in the kernel sources gets modified.
    
    Tester notes:
    
    LGTM. I did the testing on both my x86 and Arm64 platforms, thanks for
    the fixing up.
