Ouch! You shouldn't do this. The patches inside were
trials submitted for review and the resulting discussion
concluded that the injection must be redesigned.

More generally I don't recommend you to base your patches
on my tree. I use it as a buffer when I send patches
for review or for pull requests.

The branches inside can be randomly rebased (unless a
branch is waiting to be pulled) and they are pretty async
with the -tip tree.

The hottest and most sync tree on which you should base your patches
for perf is:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git
perf/core

With that you have best chances to work on a sane and up-to-date
base.

Thanks.
