It's very important for the RISC-V builds, so maybe via Palmer's RISC-V tree? Opinions? Just want to make sure it doesn't fall between any chairs! :-) Björn

But given the size and the scope of the change, it should be fine with perf-tools or RISC-V tree. Thanks, Namhyung > > Opinions?

The bpf tree would make sense to me as well (but I don't merge patches myself; let me Cc BPF maintainers). Quentin
