With allmodconfig-CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL, this patch results in:
In file included from arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:8:0:
arch/x86/events/amd/../perf_event.h:1036:45: warning: ‘struct cpu_hw_event’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
static inline int intel_cpuc_prepare(struct cpu_hw_event *cpuc, int cpu)
^~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/events/amd/../perf_event.h:1041:45: warning: ‘struct cpu_hw_event’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
static inline void intel_cpuc_finish(struct cpu_hw_event *cpuc)
^~~~~~~~~~~~
With -Werror, this is fatal, and I think it may be buggy (should it be
cpu_hw_events) ?
The patch has been applied to stable releases. Any idea, anyone, why
this is the case ? It doesn't look like a bug fix to me, and reverting
it from v4.14.106 didn't seem to have a negative impact.

Yep it should be. Won't result in a bug though, an unused pointer is an
unused poiner, no matter what known or unknown type it points to.

Reverting just this one patch will make your kernel go boom when you run
on a skylake or more recent Intel cpu, have updated your microcode and
do:
echo 0 > /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/allow_tsx_force_abort
And then try and create perf events. See also commit:
400816f60c54 ("perf/x86/intel: Implement support for TSX Force Abort")

Subject: perf/x86: Fixup typo in stub functions
Guenter reported a build warning for CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL=n. While
harmless (an unsed pointer is an unused pointer, no matter the type) it
needs fixing.
