But I'd recommend you grab the very latest sources, using git, then
build just the tools, as in:

  cd linux
  make -C tools/perf install-bin

then use it from ~/bin/perf

It should work with your ubuntu14.04.1 system.

I regularly build it (as in multiple times a day) in these ubuntu Docker
containers:
