As Florian pointed:

I am also seeing build failure with perf, which is same as the previous 
cycle.

BUILDSTDERR: util/evlist.c: In function 'evlist__add_aux_dummy':
BUILDSTDERR: util/evlist.c:266:31: error: implicit declaration of 
function 'evlist__dummy_event'; did you mean 'evlist__add_sb_event'? 
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
BUILDSTDERR:   266 |         struct evsel *evsel = 
evlist__dummy_event(evlist);
BUILDSTDERR:       |                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BUILDSTDERR:       |                               evlist__add_sb_event
BUILDSTDERR: util/evlist.c:266:31: error: initialization of 'struct 
evsel *' from 'int' makes pointer from integer without a cast 
[-Werror=int-conversion]

I think we should drop:
3dcc2e4843277 perf evlist: Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event
4898cce349953 perf tools: Get rid of evlist__add_on_all_cpus()
a6157c9aa899a perf evlist: Add evlist__add_dummy_on_all_cpus()

Thanks,
Harshit
