I'm running https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-jb-gcc47-tilt-..., build 23 (Aug15). It's kernel version is 3.4.0-xxx, but 'perf --version' reports 3.0.8_android. Why such a version mismatch?
The upstream Android guys decided to take the easy way and fork an old version of perf instead of getting Android support into the version included in the kernel, so in normal JB userland, you'll always have perf 3.0.8 even if you're running kernel 5.0.
I've fixed it up, we have a version of current perf that works w/ Android - but it's not yet in the builds. (I've fixed it the "proper" way by patching the kernel tree and submitting the patch - but currently Android's external perf is the one that gets installed)
Thanks for this Bero. How soon before this gets into a build we can use?
