Note:

include/perf is ignored because it has 'perf' in the name

Can check:

 Before:
 $ touch tools/perf/include/perf/junk
 $ git status | grep junk
 $ git check-ignore -v tools/perf/include/perf/junk
 tools/perf/.gitignore:6:perf    tools/perf/include/perf/junk

 After:
 $ git status | grep junk
         tools/perf/include/perf/junk
 $ git check-ignore -v tools/perf/include/perf/junk
