This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 6.1.56 release.
There are 259 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.

Anything received after that time might be too late.
The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:

due a80fd00cb1a7793ead4d7c3fa7d3f1e898231c27 ("perf build: Update build
rule for generated files"). Reverting that commit fixes the build for me
and then all is good in terms of testing.
I think it's ok to drop the patches if it's not applied
cleanly.
AFAICT the patch applied cleanly. There was some bizarre interplay in
stable kernels prior to < 6.1 as reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/dcb9997a-2e8a-5eb2-7a34-f8af418d4bf1@xxxxxxxxx/

Does this make sense to you that on 6.1 which does have Ian's commit
00facc760903be6675870c2749e2cd72140e396e ("perf jevents: Switch build to
use jevents.py") that we would still get this build error somehow?
Thanks
