To pick up the changes in:

  c4a16820d9019940 fs: add open_tree_attr()
  2df1ad0d25803399 x86/arch_prctl: Simplify sys_arch_prctl()
  e632bca07c8eef1d arm64: generate 64-bit syscall.tbl

This is basically to support the new open_tree_attr syscall.  But it
also needs to update asm-generic unistd.h header to get the new syscall
number.  And arm64 unistd.h header was converted to use the generic
64-bit header.

Addressing this perf tools build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:

<title>perf tools: Fix is_compat_mode build break in ppc64</title>

Commit 54f9aa1092457 ("tools/perf/powerpc/util: Add support to
handle compatible mode PVR for perf json events") introduced
to select proper JSON events in case of compat mode using
auxiliary vector. But this caused a compilation error in ppc64
Big Endian.

arch/powerpc/util/header.c: In function 'is_compat_mode':
arch/powerpc/util/header.c:20:21: error: cast to pointer from
integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
   20 |         if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform))
      |                     ^
arch/powerpc/util/header.c:20:39: error: cast to pointer from
integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
   20 |         if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform))
      |

Commit saved the getauxval(AT_BASE_PLATFORM) and getauxval(AT_PLATFORM)
return values in u64 which causes the compilation error.

Patch fixes this issue by changing u64 to "unsigned long".

Now a single beauty file is generated and used by all architectures,
remove the per-architecture Makefiles, Kbuild files and previous
generator script.

Note: there was conversation with Charlie Jenkins
&lt;charlie@rivosinc.com&gt; and they'd written an alternate approach to
support multiple architectures:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250114-perf_syscall_arch_runtime-v1-1-5b304e408e11@rivosinc.com/
It would have been better to have helped Charlie fix their series (my
apologies) but they agreed that the approach taken here was likely
best for longer term maintainability:

<title>perf syscalltbl: Remove syscall_table.h</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=af472d3c4454c720300c2e0c4e87c8a7ca2a3012'/>
<id>urn:sha1:af472d3c4454c720300c2e0c4e87c8a7ca2a3012</id>
<content type='text'>
The definition of "static const char *const syscalltbl[] = {" is done
in a generated syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h that is architecture
dependent. In order to include the appropriate file a syscall_table.h
is found via the perf include path and it includes the syscalls_32.h
or syscalls_64.h as appropriate.

To support having multiple syscall tables, one for 32-bit and one for
64-bit, or for different architectures, an include path cannot be
used. Remove syscall_table.h because of this and inline what it does
into syscalltbl.c.

For architectures without a syscall_table.h this will cause a failure
to include either syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h rather than a failure
to include syscall_table.h. For architectures that only included one
or other, the behavior matches BITS_PER_LONG as previously done on
architectures supporting both syscalls_32.h and syscalls_64.h.

<title>perf tools arch powerpc: Add register mask for power11 PVR in extended regs</title>

<content type='text'>
Perf tools side uses extended mask to display the platform supported
register names (with -I? option) to the user and also send this mask to
the kernel to capture the extended registers as part of each sample.
This mask value is decided based on the processor version ( from PVR ).

Add PVR value for power11 to enable capturing the extended regs as part
of sample in power11.

The arm64 changes are not included as it requires more changes in the
tools.  It'll be worked for the later cycle.

<title>perf header: Pass a perf_cpu rather than a PMU to get_cpuid_str</title>

<id>urn:sha1:494c403ff159fdfdb41c364acbe79f2f53ad585d</id>
<content type='text'>
On ARM the cpuid is dependent on the core type of the CPU in
question. The PMU was passed for the sake of the CPU map but this
means in places a temporary PMU is created just to pass a CPU
value. Just pass the CPU and fix up the callers.

As there are no longer PMU users in header.h, shuffle forward
declarations earlier to work around build failures.

<title>perf header: Refactor get_cpuid to take a CPU for ARM</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cec0d6572a4472848b87d016105634e4eef76d13</id>
<content type='text'>
ARM BIG.little has no notion of a constant CPUID for both core
types. To reflect this reality, change the get_cpuid function to also
pass in a possibly unused logical cpu.

If the dummy value (-1) is passed in then ARM can, as currently happens,
select the first logical CPU's "CPUID".

The changes to ARM getcpuid happen in a follow up change.
