Getting the latest and greatest Linux perf features on every Debian kernel

Hi, Debian currently tries to match the Linux perf tool to the version of the kernel that it is being run upon. Reaching out to Ben Hutchings, he explained to me that this was done back in 2010 due to kernel and Linux perf incompatibilities. This was likely the case, but it was a bug in the Linux
