So, this doesn't seem to have been tessted, this part, specifically:

index 8ea3dffc5065..cd9c3ce1a5c2 100644

----------------------------------------------------

Because $(srctree) is not set at that point, I copied the needed bits from
tools/perf/Makefile.perf and got the patch below, which makes:L

  make -C tools/perf build-test

Work for me again.

This should wrap up the day nicely, making me think of Jens Axboe recent
cool reaction to an untested patch:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/5661C2BC.9030007@kernel.dk

:-)

Jiri, are you ok with the patch below, on top of the second patch in
Wang's series, that you acked?
