   An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

Description:

   This update for perf fixes the following issues:

   - Resolve performance bench numa failure on POWER10 (bsc#1180475)

     - Certain systems are designed to have sparse/discontiguous nodes. On
       such systems, `perf bench numa` hangs, shows wrong number of nodes and
       shows values for non-existent nodes. Handle this by only taking nodes
       that are exposed by kernel to userspace.

   - Resolve build error due to updated binutils

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