I'm noticing this, but then I haven't merged with upstream yet, I bet
this is something upstream after merging the bpf branch... Nope, I just
did a test merge of what is in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf-tools
with upstream and it builds without problems on:

[acme@quaco perf-tools]$ head -2 /etc/os-release
NAME="Fedora Linux"
VERSION="37 (Workstation Edition)"
[acme@quaco perf-tools]$

I'll check on f38 and rawhide.
