Hi, I've posted a revised version of my perf patches to my UAPI disintegration GIT tree. If you look here: http://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers.git/shortlog/refs/tags/uapi-perf-x86-20121105 you can see the result. To construct this, I did the following: (1) Created a branch (perf-uapi) at v3.7-rc4. (2) Merged tipbot's perf/core branch into that. (3) Added a patch to export asm/svm.h, asm/vmx.h and asm/perf_regs.h from the x86 arch so that the disintegration scripts will deal with them. This is at the x86-bits tag. (4) Added a patch to manually export and disintegrate linux/hw_breakpoint.h. (5) Rebased and updated a pair of patches to make the tools Makefile use a defined function to handle descent into tools directories. (6) Rebased and updated the patch to fix perf for x86. This is at the perf-uapi-20121105 tag. (7) Re-disintegrated the x86 UAPI on top of the x86-bits tag to make sure that the headers exported in (3) get processed. This is on the disintegrate-x86 branch at tag disintegrate-x86-20121105. (8) Merged the disintegrate-x86 branch in to the working branch. This is at the uapi-perf-x86-20121105 branch. perf builds successfully as: make O=~+/foo tools/perf make O=~+/foo -C tools perf make O=~+/foo -C tools/perf at points (6) and (8). It doesn't seem that I can post the patches, given there is a pair of merge commits in the series. If it is desirable, then I can drop the top merge commit and post the patches. For information, attached is a pull request for the patches between the two merge commits.
