perf may fail to build in v4.19.y with the following error.
util/evsel.c: In function ‘perf_evsel__exit’:
util/util.h:25:28: error:
passing argument 1 of ‘free’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type
This is observed (at least) with gcc v6.5.0. The underlying problem is
the following statement.
zfree(&evsel->pmu_name);
evsel->pmu_name is decared 'const *'. zfree in turn is defined as
#define zfree(ptr) ({ free(*ptr); *ptr = NULL; })
and thus passes the const * to free(). The problem is not seen
in the upstream kernel since zfree() has been rewritten there.
The problem has been introduced into v4.19.y with the backport of upstream
