Subject[PATCH 1/1 fyi] tools headers x86 cpufeatures: Sync with the kernel sources to pick TDX, Zen, APIC MSR fence changes
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.

The way these headers are used in perf are not restricted to just
including them to compile something.

There are sometimes used in scripts that convert defines into string
tables, etc, so some change may break one of these scripts, or new MSRs
may use some different #define pattern, etc.

E.g.:

$ ls -1 tools/perf/trace/beauty/*.sh | head -5
tools/perf/trace/beauty/arch_errno_names.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/drm_ioctl.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsconfig.sh
tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsmount.sh
$
$ tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
static const char *fadvise_advices[] = {
[0] = "NORMAL",
[1] = "RANDOM",
[2] = "SEQUENTIAL",
[3] = "WILLNEED",
[4] = "DONTNEED",
[5] = "NOREUSE",
};
$

The tools/perf/check-headers.sh script, part of the tools/ build
process, points out changes in the original files.

So its important not to touch the copies in tools/ when doing changes in
the original kernel headers, that will be done later, when
check-headers.sh inform about the change to the perf tools hackers.

To pick the changes from:

95a6ccbdc7199a14 ("x86/bhi: Mitigate KVM by default")
ec9404e40e8f3642 ("x86/bhi: Add BHI mitigation knob")
be482ff9500999f5 ("x86/bhi: Enumerate Branch History Injection (BHI) bug")
0f4a837615ff925b ("x86/bhi: Define SPEC_CTRL_BHI_DIS_S")
7390db8aea0d64e9 ("x86/bhi: Add support for clearing branch history at syscall entry")

This causes these perf files to be rebuilt and brings some X86_FEATURE
that will be used when updating the copies of
tools/arch/x86/lib/mem{cpy,set}_64.S with the kernel sources:

CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o
CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/mem-memset-x86-64-asm.o

And addresses this perf build warning:

Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
