Hi Peter,

I did a git bisect and it looks like the faulty patch is
d72da4a4d973d8a0a0d3c97e7cdebf287fbe3a99, "rbtree: Make lockless
searches non-fatal". I can't see why it causes my builds to fail,
but if I revert that patch and the related series, then I can
build the kernel and build tools/perf successfully.

Any insight into a less intensive way of fixing my build would
be appreciated.
