I've built and tested this by adding task-core-tools-profile to my IMAGE_INSTALL, and perf behaves just as it did before. I've also tested this on my oe-core checkout/repo, and it works fine there as well (but I'm using my easier to access contrib branch for now). There's additional work that can be done more easily once this is split, so please consider this for inclusion, but I'd like to keep this initial version as an exact functional match as what was previously in place. I've removed the old linux-tools.inc and updated any kernel recipes that I know about that have references to it. If there are other dependent recipes, they'll need to be updated. >From the patch itself: perf has been coupled to the kernel packages via kernel.bbclass. While maintaining the build of perf out of the kernel source tree is desired the package coupling has proved to be awkward in several situations such as: - when a kernel recipe doesn't want to build/provide perf - when licensing of dependencies would prohibit perf and hence the kernel from being built. To solve some of these problems, this recipe is the extraction of the linux-tools.inc provided perf compilation into a standalone perf recipe that builds out of the kernel source, but is otherwise independent. No new functionality is provided above what the linux-tools.inc variant provided, but the separate recipe provides baseline for adding new functionality.
