tools: Add copy of perf_event.h to tools/include/linux/
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
