There is a minor build issue that appears in the tools/perf build with
kernel header code we try to keep in sync between the kernel and
tools. There was discussion on resolving this, and I believe this
settles it (the tag was carried forward to the newer versions):

get_maintainers added you presumably due to the kernel header change,
I'm happy to drop you and stop the noise - sorry for this. Fwiw, the
different versions are addressing locking issues the annotations are
throwing up when adopted more widely in the perf tool. Whilst I'm
using clang and internal AI to minimize this, the stochastic nature of
AI means that new things pop up from Sashiko.

Thanks,
Ian
