Bug#846597: linux: please enable `perf data' support
Package: src:linux
Version: 4.9~rc5-1~exp1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Please enable `perf data' support for perf. This requires two extra
dependencies which are already in debian in the required version. During
the invocation of make (for perf) you libbabeltrace needs to be
explicitly enabled. Upstream disabled it by default until more distros
ship a libbabeltrace with the requested functions (and Debian is the
first one).
All this can be found in the patch attached.
