perf fails to build with:

due a80fd00cb1a7793ead4d7c3fa7d3f1e898231c27 ("perf build: Update build rule for generated files"). Reverting that commit fixes the build for me and then all is good in terms of testing.
I think it's ok to drop the patches if it's not applied cleanly.
AFAICT the patch applied cleanly. There was some bizarre interplay in stable kernels prior to < 6.1 as reported here:

Does this make sense to you that on 6.1 which does have Ian's commit 00facc760903be6675870c2749e2cd72140e396e ("perf jevents: Switch build to use jevents.py") that we would still get this build error somehow?
You can drop the pmu-events part of the change if possible. If not, I'm ok to drop the entire patch as it's intended to fix a corner case only. Normal builds should be fine before and after the change.
I'm going to just drop the patch now from all queues, thanks!
