Humm, we have to check if CFLAGS doesn't come with cross-build options,
i.e. IIRC we have to use HOSTCFLAGS instead. Unsure if there is some
*CFLAGS variable that gets the common part, where these -Wall and
-Wextra, -Werror could go.

I fixed the one I found, see below, I'll test build what I have in
perf/core and push it, then you can continue from there, after checking
this HOSTCFLAGS/CFLAGS issue.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf jevents: Add __maybe_unused attribute to unused
 function arg

The tools/perf/pmu-events/jevents.c file isn't being compiled with
-Werror and -Wextra, which will be the case soon, so before we turn
those compiler flags on, fix what it would flag.
