Thought:
It's not the first time we see build failures in tools/perf -- would it 
make sense to add this to your own build tests to reduce the round trip 
time for these errors ?

Note: After reverting three patches in perf/ the build succeeds:

Patch 151: c1ef510a0f2a perf metric: Return early if no CPU PMU table exists
Patch 81: 40ddac4ffc75 perf build: Update build rule for generated files
Patch 80: 8df938ed8c8a perf jevents: Switch build to use jevents.py


Thanks,
Harshit
