Hi,
Can someone please address this perf build warning:
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf-tools/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j32' parallel build
Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
diff -u tools/arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h arch/arm64/include/asm/cputype.h
I tried updating that header and got the problems below.
I just merged perf-tools with upstream, will push to tmp.perf-tools at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools.git tmp.perf-tools
Thanks in advance,
- Arnaldo
