I need to add -w to get the clean build with that, do you see that as well?

  $ make EXTRA_CFLAGS='-fsanitize=undefined -w'

and I'm also getting another error in:

are you going to address this one as well?


the reason for this one is that 'data' in struct perf_record_cpu_map_data
is not alligned(8), so that's why I raised the question in my other reply ;-)

I wonder we should mark all tools/lib/perf/include/perf/event.h types
as packed to prevent any compiler padding
