Hi,
Building 4.9.94 in the same way we have been building previous 4.9 releases yields the following error:

As far as I can see, KMOD_DECOMP_LEN was introduced by 7525a238be8f ("perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump"), but I have zero deep knowledge in this area so I may be very wrong here.
Yeah, looks like I need to just revert this patch, thanks, I'll do that for the next release.
