Just in case you didn't see them, note that I sent fixes: [PATCH 1/2] perf tools: Fix build on powerpc broken by pt/bts [PATCH 2/2] perf tools: Make NO_AUXTRACE default for non-x86 architectures -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
