[PATCH 5/5] perf build: Add make check-headers target
From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Sun May 03 2026 - 15:32:06 EST
Don't print header differences during the perf build as it's noisy.
Mostly people won't care and find it annoying.
As it's to improve perf trace beautifier to catch up new changes mostly
in UAPIs, we can make it a separate build target and call it
occasionally.
