Hi Ritesh,
Thank you for your prompt response. I am building kernel 5.10, for Buster which is not the default version that is shipped.
If you can send me pointers on how to build the linux-perf package that is part of the official distribution that would be great.
Thanks

which will pull in the proper linux-perf-$VERSION of the package for
the respective Linux kenrel.
