Hi Peter,

Sorry about that, I checked the internal reports, the error was first
found on Oct 14, but it's blocked due to commit id changed in the same
branch, we'll enhance the check logic to avoid blocking such cases.

   [peterz-queue:perf/core 5/6] kernel/events/core.c:181:48: error: 
'cpu_context' redeclared as different kind of symbol

Rong Chen
