The perf utility is somewhat kernel specific so might as well compile it when we compile the kernel. The resulting binary is statically linked (and stripped for size) and is added the resulting kernel packages. Although we add alpine packages such as libunwind and other, it seems that the config detection code for perf/tools does not detect them. Signed-off-by: Rolf Neugebauer <rolf.neugebauer@docker.com>
See ../docs/kernel-patches.md for more information on kernel builds.
To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with
make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug.
This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to
adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
--- a/alpine/kernel/kernel_config
