perf fails to build with:
util/arm-spe.c: In function 'arm_spe__inject_event': util/arm-spe.c:472:37: error: 'struct perf_sample' has no member named 'evsel' 472 | struct evsel *evsel = sample->evsel; | ^~
due to commit ca625699a8d5ddea7213231f090dab1e0ec0380c ("perf event: Fix size of synthesized sample with branch stacks"), it looks like we need to backport aeae075a0352eb6ab363fb1910f209eaa296a175 ("perf sample: Add evsel to struct perf_sample")
