looks good, but I can't apply the patch with 'git am'
Applying: perf build: Allow nested externs to enable BUILD_BUG() usage
error: patch failed: tools/perf/Makefile.config:16
error: tools/perf/Makefile.config: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 perf build: Allow nested externs to enable
BUILD_BUG() usage
hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' to see the failed patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
I wonder it's that picture at the bottom ;-)
