Bug#843199: perf is linked to libcrypto - licence incompatibility



Package: src:linux
Version: 4.7.8-1
Severity: serious

perf uses SHA1 and MD5 implementations from OpenSSL's libcrypto if it
is found at build time.  Since perf is under GPLv2 without an OpenSSL
exception, this isn't allowed in Debian.

We need to disable this feature or substitute implementations under
another licence.

Ben.
