Well, I'm also confused as to what does the perf buffer have to do with
AMX?

Why isn't that in your commit message?
All I see a patch doing a bunch of renames, some unrelated blurb in the
commit message and I have no clue what's going on here and why you're
doing this. Your commit messages should contain simple english sentences
and explain *why* the change is needed - not *what* you're doing. The
*what* I can see from the diff itself, for the *why* I need a crystal
ball which I can't buy in any store.
So how about explaining the *why*?
