I was also able to reproduce it with gcc 10.2.0. I think the problem is that the
perf_num_counters() declaration is guarded by CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS (in
include/linux/perf_event.h), the implementation is in drivers/perf/arm_pmu.c,
which depends on CONFIG_ARM_PMU, but CONFIG_ARM_PMU=y doesn't select
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS. So we end up in a situation where we have the implementation
of perf_num_counters(), but no prototype (CONFIG_ARM_PMU=y, CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is
not set).

Thanks,

Alex
