Linux tools for perf (install linux-tools-3.15.0)

Question

I use Linaro version of Linux (Linaro 12.11) on my embedded target with ARM9 Core. For a certain profiling, I need to use the perf tool. perf require linux-tools-3.15.0 to be installed on my device. But all attempts to do this is going in-vain. Lastly I tried

sudo wget --no-check-certificate "https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ppa/+build/5980376/+files/linux-tools-3.15.0-0-generic_3.15.0-0.1_armhf.deb"

But it gave the result

Answer 1

It is because the file does not exists. The perf is part of linux-tools package as far as I know.

You should be able to install it by traditional way apt-get install linux-tools from standard sources. If not, post what happened when you tried and what kernel version are you using.
