Hi,

The commit:

commit d72da4a4d973d8a0a0d3c97e7cdebf287fbe3a99

Does the patch below make things work?

It does,

Tested-by: Riku Voipio <riku.voipio@xxxxxx>

This fix could go into the modules tree, as this commit came via Rusty.

Stephen, feel free to add:

make -C tools/perf

to the linux-next build tests. It's always supposed to build without failure, in pretty much whatever x86 distro you run your build tests on.

Thanks,

Ingo
