I tried on tmp.perf-tools-next branch from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git

But hit a patch apply issue in second patch

error: patch failed: tools/perf/tests/tests.h:83
error: tools/perf/tests/tests.h: patch does not apply

Applied this change separately and hit the compilation error reported by Stephen

As suggested by Ian , tried below change and it did solve the compilation issue

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/evsel.c b/tools/perf/util/evsel.c

+ */
+#define __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__

 #include <byteswap.h>
 #include <errno.h>
 #include <inttypes.h>

I could also verify running the test as well

# ./perf test attribute
 65: Perf attribute expectations test                                : Ok


With the change above,
