[patch] perf build questions

[Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>]

Hi,

How do I build 'perf' for an i386 target when running on x86_64?
and how do I do 'perf' cross-builds in general?


Also, I see build errors/warnings (-Werror).  Others aren't seeing these?
Just due to my gcc version?

Patch below.

Thanks.

Fix perf build warnings/errors in function argument types:

builtin-sched.c:1894: warning: passing argument 1 of 'sort_dimension__add' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
util/trace-event-parse.c:685: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
util/trace-event-parse.c:741: warning: passing argument 4 of 'test_type_token' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
util/trace-event-parse.c:706: warning: passing argument 2 of 'read_expected_item' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
