Hi,

Here is a proposal of a small contribution which tries to fulfill the
task "Use Kconfig to allow selecting features and build minimal
version of perf,..." displayed on the todo page of the perf
wiki (https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Todo).

I tried to continue the work started by David Ahern
(https://github.com/dsahern/linux.git branch:perf-config). This
version relies on the features detection tests available in
linux/tools/perf/config/feature-checks so as to enable some
configuration options (at least by default).

This little task is not complete; more Kconfig options should be added
for each perf tool (top, record, report, ...).

I just wanted to ask whether you consider this proposal as interesting
enough for inclusion and if you are ok with the way it is implemented.

The code is available here: https://github.com/aberlemont/linux.git
- branch: perf-config.

I know Jiri has an attempt in his tree and there have been a few discussions since then as well. I'll take a look at it next week. I would like to see it completed; I just don't have the time to do it.

David
