Description:

This update for perf fixes the following issues:

  • Resolve performance bench numa failure on POWER10 (bsc#1180475)

  • Certain systems are designed to have sparse/discontiguous nodes.
    On such systems, perf bench numa hangs, shows wrong number of nodes and shows values for non-existent nodes. Handle this by only taking nodes that are exposed by kernel to userspace.

  • Resolve build error due to updated binutils

  • This fix make perf able to build with both old and new libbfd.
