Can I take that as an Acked-by?

This is the patch with a cset comment, if you're ok, I'll put it
together with Song's PERF_RECORD_{KSYMBOL,BPF_EVENT} into my perf/core
branch and send to Ingo,

please advise,

commit 1b3b3dee572d0b77a316ab6715091201be6832de
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

    perf: Make perf_event_output() propagate the output() return
    
    For the original mode of operation it isn't needed, since we report back
    errors via PERF_RECORD_LOST records in the ring buffer, but for use in
    bpf_perf_event_output() it is convenient to return the errors, basically
    -ENOSPC.
    
    Currently bpf_perf_event_output() returns an error indication, the last
    thing it does, which is to push it to the ring buffer is that can fail
    and if so, this failure won't be reported back to its users, fix it.
