You also missed a third thing:

+static inline int
+perf_output_begin(struct perf_output_handle *handle, struct perf_counter *c,
+                 unsigned int size, int nmi, int sample)               { }

an 'int' function returning void ...

Plus all the !PERF_COUNTERS branch of empty inlines is pointless - these 
facilities are used by perfcounters code only. I fixed that too.

Looks correct to me and i've also done a Sparc cross build with the fix 
in place and it builds fine besides the unrelated build error pasted 
below. I've added it to the other fix and if David acks it will send it 
to Linus later today.

Thanks,
