CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS not enabled in Karmic 2.6.31 based kernel package

[John Stultz]

The new perf tool in 2.6.31 is really quite nice. It would be helpful if the Ubuntu kernel supported it.

See the link for details:

CONFIG_PERF_COUNTERS=y would need to be set to enable this.

I would have filed a bug on this, but for whatever reason, I can't seem to get launchpad to play along.

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue.

If this bug really is a bug in the linux-meta package you can move it back to linux-meta and set the Status to Confirmed, or contact us on the #ubuntu-kernel channel on the FreeNode IRC server. Thanks.
