Hey, I noticed that the perf build is broken for the
tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/bperf_cgroup.bpf.c skell, so I tried using b4
on this Namhyung patch, it ended up getting a newer version, by Tejun,
that mixes up kernel code and tooling, which, when I tried to apply
upstream didn't work.

Please try not to mix up kernel and tools/ changes in the same patch to
avoid these issues.

Also when changing tools/perf, please CC me.

I'm now back trying to apply v2 of this patch to see if it fixes my
build.

Thanks,
