Subject: tools arch x86 uapi: Synch asm/unistd.h with the kernel sources
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e579f3a074c9348389ea0cf0491264e1ffbc585;p=linux.git

tools arch x86 uapi: Synch asm/unistd.h with the kernel sources

To pick up the change in:

  700d3a5a664d ("x86/syscalls: Revert "x86/syscalls: Make __X32_SYSCALL_BIT be unsigned long"")

That doesn't trigger any changes in tooling and silences this perf build
warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h'
