Hi Greg,

Please apply the following commit from 4.8 to 4.4.y. It fixes a perf
build failure on distros with modern Perl:

    perf tools: Fix build failure on perl script context
    
    On my Archlinux machine, perf faild to build like below:
    
        CC       scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.o

             AV *av;
                 ^~
    
    What I did to fix is adding '-Wno-shadow' as the error message said it's
    the cause of the failure.  Since it's from the perl (not perf) code
    base, we don't have the control so I just wanted to ignore the warning
    when compiling perl scripting code.
    
    Committer note:
    
    This also fixes the build on Fedora Rawhide.
