This is a backport from upstream. It is currently only in the v5.6 branch. Latest yocto (dunfell) brings in this new libbfd package so this kernel fix is required to be able to compile the perf package.

Original Commit Msg:

libbfd has changed the bfdsection* macros to inline functions bfdsection since 2019-09-18. See below two commits: o http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2019-09/msg00064.html o https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2019-09/msg00072.html

This fix make perf able to build with both old and new libbfd.
