When I tried to run the trace on arm64 platform with eBPF program
augmented_raw_syscalls, it reports several failures for eBPF program
compilation.  So tried to resolve these issues and this patch set is
the working result.

0001 patch lets perf command to exit directly if find eBPF program
building failure.

0002 patch is minor refactoring code to remove duplicate macro.

0003 patch is to add support arm64 raw syscalls numbers.

0004 patch is to document clang configuration so that can easily use
this program on both x86_64 and aarch64 platforms.

Changes from v1:
* Removed duplicated macro and aligned the numbers indention for arm64.

Leo Yan (4):
  perf trace: Exit when build eBPF program failure
  perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Remove duplicate macros
  perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Support arm64 raw syscalls
  perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Document clang configuration

So, this shouldn't be needed, all of this is supposed to be done
automagically, have you done a 'make -C tools/perf install'?

Sure, if you fell like doing this, please update and also please figure
out when the this changed and add a Fixes: that cset,

Its great that you're going thru the docs and making sure the
differences are noted so that we update the docs, thanks a lot!
