+Does the patch below make things work?
+
+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.
