From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Aug 25 2025 - 18:00:30 EST


To pick up the changes in this cset:

3941e37f62fe2c3c uapi/fcntl: add FD_PIDFS_ROOT
cd5d2006327b6d84 uapi/fcntl: add FD_INVALID
67fcec2919e4ed31 fcntl/pidfd: redefine PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP
a4c746f06853f91d uapi/fcntl: mark range as reserved

This addresses these perf build warnings:

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

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