Hi,
I noticed that upstream is failing on aarch64:
acme@raspberrypi:~/git/perf-tools-next $ uname -a

I noticed that it is using some files from outside tools/, i.e. kernel
files, so I tried adding those (and its dependencies) to the
tools/perf/MANIFEST, but stumbled at this point:
acme@raspberrypi:~/git/perf-tools-next $ git diff

Can you please take a look?
Thanks a lot,
