[PATCH 1/1 fyi] perf beauty: Update copy of linux/socket.h with the kernel sources

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Jun 12 2025 - 11:00:24 EST


tldr; Just FYI, I'm carrying this on the perf tools tree.

Full explanation:

There used to be no copies, with tools/ code using kernel headers
directly. From time to time tools/perf/ broke due to legitimate kernel
hacking. At some point Linus complained about such direct usage. Then we
adopted the current model.

See further details at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/include/uapi/README

To pick the changes in:

b1e904999542ad67 ("net: pass const to msg_data_left()")

That don't result in any changes in the tables generated from that
header.

This silences this perf build warning:

Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
diff -u tools/perf/trace/beauty/include/linux/socket.h include/linux/socket.h

Please see tools/include/uapi/README for details.
