Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it instead of the local copy. Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version. Objtool has a similar check. Committer notes: Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e. instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files were in differemt dirs, or just replace "<asm/foo.h>" with "foo.h". This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT traces in distros other than x86. Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help | grep perf) working. For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
