Hello,

I tried to build my distro with meta-linaro/meta-linaro, I've found an issue on "perf".

When I added "perf" to IMAGE_INSTALL, it causes an error as below;

So it seems that it doesn't do do_fetch and just failed.

I've found you tried to re-enable do_fetch by d.delVarFlag() in meta-linaro/meta-linaro/recipes-kernel/perf/perf.bbappend as below, ----- LICENSE = "GPL-2" LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=d7810fab7487fb0aad327b76f1be7cd7"

do_compile_prepend() { mkdir -p ${S}/include/generated echo "#define UTS_RELEASE "${PV}"" > ${S}/include/generated/utsrelease.h }

# Ensure the above tarball gets fetched, unpackaged and patched python () { d.delVarFlag("do_fetch", "noexec") d.delVarFlag("do_unpack", "noexec") d.delVarFlag("do_patch", "noexec") } -----

But it seems not work correctly. Actually, when I just removed the perf.bbappend file from meta-linaro (just for debugging) bitbake completed to build rootfs image with perf.

I actually would like to know below - Is there any recommended configuration for perf? - Was that tested with any configure before? - Is that tested (built) in nightly test build?

If it is clear, I can dig deeper by comparing configurations by myself.

Thank you,
