This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf tools: Add empty Build files for architectures lacking them to the 4.2-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-tools-add-empty-build-files-for-architectures-lacking-them.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 93df8a1ed6231727c5db94a80b1a6bd5ee67cec3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 17:10:27 +0100 Subject: perf tools: Add empty Build files for architectures lacking them From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 93df8a1ed6231727c5db94a80b1a6bd5ee67cec3 upstream. perf currently fails to build on MIPS as there is no tools/perf/arch/mips/Build file. Adding an empty file fixes this as there are no MIPS-specific sources to build. It looks like the same is needed for Alpha and PA-RISC, though I haven't been able to test those.
