The perf events are created by the same macro magic as tracefs trace
events are. But to hook into perf, it has its own code. It duplicates many
of the same macros as the tracefs macros and this is an issue because it
misses bug fixes as well as any new enhancements that come with the other
trace macros.

As the trace macros have been put into their own staging files, have perf
take advantage of this and use the tracefs stage 6 macros that the "fast
assign" portion of the trace event macro uses.
