---Problem Description---
File libperf-jvmti.so is missing in linux-tools-common deb making it impossible to use perf for the JVM JITed methods

---uname output---
inux-image-4.13.0-36-generic

Machine Type = not relevant

---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured

---Steps to Reproduce---
 File libperf-jvmti.so is missing in linux-tools-common deb provided for Ubuntu 17.10 making it impossible to use perf for the JVM JITed methods. I also checked if the file is available on launchpad (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux) for Bionic Beaver proposed (main) at it's also absent there:

gromero@ltc-wspoon3:~/download$ dpkg -c linux-tools-common_4.15.0-13.14_all.deb | fgrep jvm
gromero@ltc-wspoon3:~/download$ dpkg -c linux-tools-4.15.0-13-generic_4.15.0-13.14_ppc64el.deb | fgrep jvm

I do see the file in tools/perf/jvmti dir in the source .tar.gz, but apparently it's no being packaged in any .deb file?

Thanks.
