Compilation error:
arch/powerpc/perf/perf_regs.c:80:undefined reference to `.is_sier_available'
Currently is_sier_available() is part of core-book3s.c, which is added
to build based on CONFIG_PPC_PERF_CTRS.
A config with CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS and without CONFIG_PPC_PERF_CTRS will
have a build break because of missing is_sier_available().
In practice it only breaks when CONFIG_FSL_EMB_PERF_EVENT=n because
that also guards the usage of is_sier_available(). That only happens
with CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E_64=y and CONFIG_FSL_SOC_BOOKE=n.
Patch adds is_sier_available() in asm/perf_event.h to fix the build
break for configs missing CONFIG_PPC_PERF_CTRS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
