Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the perf tree

Hi all,

After merging the perf tree, today's linux-next build (native ppc perf)
failed like this:

perf/util/bpf-filter-flex.c:2245:1: error: unterminated comment
 2245 | /** Pushes the new state onto the stack. The new state becomes
      | ^

      |               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

I don't know what caused this, but simply rebuilding worked.  So maybe
some dependency is missing in the make files?
