I haven't fixed this ARM64 bisection breakage yet, but I've integrated &
backmerged all the other fixes and changes, and pushed it out to the WIP
branch:

# 1755441e323b per_task: Implement single template to define 'struct task_struct_per_task' fields and offsets

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/tip.git sched/headers

Let me know if there's anything missing or if there's a new breakage.

This is pretty close to what will be -v2.

Thanks,

Ingo
