perf also fails to build with:

It looks like we need to backport 7a490187f22b ("perf sample: Add file_offset field to struct perf_sample") and pay attention to struct perf_sample being defined in tools/perf/util/event.h in this older kernel version, whereas the upstream commit modifies tools/perf/util/sample.h (which was introduced later).
