This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed- xenial'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

The fix is to revert the SAUCE patch and keep the definition of BIT() in loco in numa.c as done in 4.4 stable upstream. [Test Case] 1. Install libnuma-dev package on the build environment. 2. cd xenial/linux source directory. 3. fakeroot debian/rules clean 4. cd tools/perf 5. make [Regression Potential] Low. The fix is to revert a SAUCE patch that was applied to fix a build failure that has been fixed upstream and it's not needed anymore.
