I would check this myself, but since Suzuki had some review comments and
you may consider a v5, please check this:

Cover: ./v4_20230119_james_clark_perf_cs_etm_basic_support_for_virtual_kernel_timestamps.cover

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".

Probably a conflict with one of these:

[acme at quaco perf]$ git log --oneline -5 tools/perf/util/pmu.c
acef233b7ca749fd perf pmu: Add #slots literal support for arm64
336b92da1aa4228a perf tool: Move pmus list variable to a new file
49bd97c28b7e7f01 perf tools: Use dedicated non-atomic clear/set bit helpers
e5c6109f4813246a perf list: Reorganize to use callbacks to allow honouring command line options
eb2d4514a5971444 perf pmu: Restructure print_pmu_events() to avoid memory allocations

Update to my perf/core branch or even tmp.perf/core which is newer but
still needs the full set of container build tests.

Thanks,
