While I understand the desire, I believe that repetitive listings like this don't really help much.
Having a single entry of:
F: arch/*/perf/
would serve the same purpose.
Nominally, the difference between the 2 entries vs the 1 entry is this:
F: arch/*/perf/*
Only the specific files in any directory that matches this pattern but not any files in their subdirectories are maintained.
F: arch/*/perf/*/*
Only the files in any top level subdirectory of any directory that matches this pattern are maintained but not files in any directory of those subdirectories.
F: arch/*/perf/
Any file or any file in any subdirectory of any directory that matches this pattern is maintained.
