Even i am running into this error when building tools/perf on ppc64le. perf build works in 6.15-rc3,
but failed with tip/master.

Did git bisect
good: [9c32cda43eb78f78c73aee4aa344b777714e259b] Linux 6.15-rc3
bad: [1a11b5b80f46e4dff0b21cb07efab43dee049d61] Merge branch into tip master: 'x86/sev'
...
# first bad commit: [3846389c03a8518884f09056611619bd1461ffc7] x86/platform/amd: Move the <asm/amd-ibs.h> header to <asm/amd/ibs.h>

It isn't able to find the file after rename. I did the below hack so that ibs.h finds the msr-index.h
Likely there is better way. for me, this helps to build tools/perf.
