Subject: backport patches to linux-5.4.y

Hi,

Can these patches be backported to linux-5.4.y, I've tried to build
perf on arm and it failed without these patches.
fc8c0a992233 ("perf tools: Use %define api.pure full instead of %pure-parser")
20befbb10803 ("perf tools: Use %zd for size_t printf formats on 32-bit")
77d02bd00cea ("perf map: Tighten snprintf() string precision to pass
gcc check on some 32-bit arches")



Commit fc8c0a992233 ("perf tools: Use %define api.pure full instead of
%pure-parser") fixes:

util/parse-events.y:1.1-12: warning: deprecated directive:
'%pure-parser', use '%define api.pure' [-Wdeprecated]
    1 | %pure-parser
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~
      | %define api.pure
