got following compile error:

CC util/map.o
util/machine.c: In function ‘machine__resolve_callchain_sample’:
util/machine.c:1286:6: error: variable ‘skip_idx’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
int skip_idx;
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
make[2]: *** [util/machine.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
test: test -x ./perf
make: *** [make_pure] Error 1


you could use __maybe_unused for the 'skip_idx'
