Bug#588409: perf (linux-tools-2.6.32) fails to build on many architectures

[Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz>]

Regarding the perf tools:

Commit 5d7bdab75cd56d2bdc0986ae5546be3b09fea70a upstream should give the 
-fstack-protector-all test.

Regarding the Alpha architecture the following commits that are in 
v2.6.33 of the kernel upstream provide the performance event interface:

Commit fcd14b3203b538dca04a2b065c774c0b57863eec upstream adds the Alpha 
specific part for perf tools.

Commit a582e6f01b90211933e70edcec9bc0bbb1157402 upstream provides 
minimal support for performance events in the kernel for Alpha.  However 
it probably won't apply cleanly to 2.6.32 without commit 
21797c599c710d3851d241c4b50690f2482bf618 which wires up quite a number 
of missing syscalls, which in turn depends on 
6e17e8b9fb74b9fb9f6ea331f7f4a049c5b4c4b8 which wires up the syscall for 
recvmmsg that is new in 2.6.33.  Thus a modified 21797c599 is required 
for 2.6.32 to do all this;  I think I might still have the patch 
somewhere, but in any case I could regenerate it should you wish to have it.

Cheers
Michael
