[PATCH v4 2/3] Revert "perf tools: Fix arm64 build by generating unistd_64.h"

From: Leo Yan
Date: Thu Jan 08 2026 - 08:56:38 EST


This reverts:

commit 8988c4b91945 ("perf tools: Fix in-source libperf build")
commit bfb713ea53c7 ("perf tools: Fix arm64 build by generating unistd_64.h")

Since we now have a static unistd_64.h for the arm64 build, there is no
need to generate unistd_64.h in libperf. Revert all patches related to
generating unistd_64.h.
