I'm sorry if my previous post confused you. What i meant was that the
userspace perf code is in tools/perf and the necessary kernel code to
use perf on a system can be enabled using CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS and there
may be some more config switches for a finer-grained activation of
perf events. There are some dependency hints in the
tools/perf/Makefile, but in the end I used trial and error to get all
dependencies installed.


Hope that helps!
