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. Sebastian
