The bugfix was about the case where there was no change between the bad
and good commit with respect to the given pathspec, so I suspect your case
was irrelevant.

Your case probably was coming from that you originally suspected one of
the commits that touch tools/perf was a culprit, but because that initial
suspicion was wrong, bisection didn't find anything useful.
