Ingo Molnar 82119cbe8e perf/core improvements:
User visible:
 
 - Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
   sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events.
 
   This was done by using scripts that extract the information from
   the UAPI headers, generating string tables that are then used in
   the 'perf trace' syscall argument ioctl beautifier.
 
   More work needed to further use it, for instance, to use the
   _IOC_DIR value where it is used sanely to suppress the third
   argument, to set formatters for non-pointer values and ultimately
   for using eBPF + pahole-like code to collect + beautify structs in
   the third arg.
 
   Using the current scheme of having tools/ copies of kernel headers
   we'll make sure tooling stays working when changes are made to the
   kernel ABI headers and will be notified when they get changed,
   reducing the time for 'perf trace' to support new ABIs and allowing
   the tools/perf/ codebase to have the definitions it needs to
   build in dozens of distros/versions, as routinely tested using
   containers for, at this time, 47 environments. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
