This makes 'perf test python' to fail:

⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ perf test -v python
Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
 19: 'import perf' in python                                         :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 720242
python usage test: "echo "import sys ; sys.path.append('/tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python'); import perf" | '/usr/bin/python3' "
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python/perf.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: evsel__is_aux_event
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: FAILED!
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$

So I added the following patch, please run 'perf test' and 'make -C
tools/perf build-test' before submitting patch series.
