Installation Guide
You'll need to install `perf` on the system. `perf` uses CPU performance counters( Performance Monitoring Counters or PMCs).
1)Install Required Packages like libelf-dev libdw-dev binutils-dev libaudit-dev Command- sudo apt-get install build-essential libelf-dev libdw-dev binutils-dev libaudit-dev
2) Download the Source code for perf-tools v6.3 using the following command git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/
3) Install perf command- Perf command is available in package linux-tools-common , linux-intel-iotg-tools-common`, etc. Hence, install any of these.
4) Run `make` command to build the project
4.1) It may show an error since the config file is not set and has to be changed.
Run `make xconfig` for this.
4.2) We will also need to install qt5 for this.
Install it using `sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev` OR `sudo apt install qt5*`
and set the path using `export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig`
4.3) Check if qt5 has been installed properly using `qmake --version`
4.4) Now, Finally run `make xconfig` and it will work properly.
5) Go to the root directory of the kernel and run `perf test`. You will see tests passing, skipping, or failing.
