Ok, Zhe, that patch is at the end of this message, and it is in:

[acme@...e perf]$ git tag --contains cb71f7d43ece3d5a4f400f510c61b2ec7c9ce9a1 | grep ^v
v5.6-rc1
v5.6-rc2
v5.6-rc3
v5.6-rc4
[acme@...e perf]$

Can you try with that?

commit cb71f7d43ece3d5a4f400f510c61b2ec7c9ce9a1

    libperf: Setup initial evlist::all_cpus value
    
    Jann Horn reported crash in perf ftrace because evlist::all_cpus isn't
    initialized if there's evlist without events, which is the case for perf
    ftrace.
    
    Adding initial initialization of evlist::all_cpus from given cpus,
    regardless of events in the evlist.
