[PATCH RFC] perf/callchain: fixup charset file header

From: Nicholas Mc Guire
Date: Sat May 20 2017 - 12:50:48 EST


Non-UTF-8 characters are a problem for some terminals and also
make greping harder than necessary - this only switches the
copyright sign to the common (C).

Before I start generating sets of patches that fix encoding issues
I would like to know if that is going to be accepted at all - the
background is that it causes quite a bit of trouble when automating
tools if these encoding problems make using simple tools hard (e.g.
grep) and thus make automation a lot more complicated that necessary.
It seems to me that the codingstyle does not mandate UTF-8 but there
are a few places where it is "suggested" like in:
Documentation/process/email-clients.rst

This really should not have any impact on the code but
patch was compile-tested with x86_64_defconfig (implies CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS)
(issues two sparse warnings - not related though)

Patch is against 4.12-rc1 (localversion-next is next-20170519)
