Package: linux-tools-2.6.38
Version: 2.6.38-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/perf


"perf" comes with build-in self testing facility, and it fails:

"
johan@johansdator:~$ sudo perf test
[sudo] password for johan: 
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED!

 2: detect open syscall event: FAILED!

 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: FAILED!

johan@johansdator:~$ 
"

I don't know how much this matters in practice.

This is with perf_2.6.38.

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
