Hi,
[This is an automated email]
This commit has been processed because it contains a -stable tag.
The stable tag indicates that it's relevant for the following trees: all
The bot has tested the following trees: v5.3.7, v4.19.80, v4.14.150, v4.9.197, v4.4.197.
v5.3.7: Build OK!
v4.19.80: Failed to apply! Possible dependencies:
    0e956150fe09f ("ARC: perf: introduce Kernel PMU events support")
    14f81a91ad29a ("ARC: perf: trivial code cleanup")
    baf9cc85ba01f ("ARC: perf: move HW events mapping to separate function")
v4.14.150: Failed to apply! Possible dependencies:
v4.9.197: Failed to apply! Possible dependencies:
v4.4.197: Failed to apply! Possible dependencies:
Indeed the clash is due to
commit baf9cc85ba01f ("ARC: perf: move HW events mapping to separate function") as tmp variable "j" was changed on "i". So that's a fixed hunk:
