The linux-linaro-tools package provides the tools for the released kernels, but if you're working with a development kernel it may be better to build the tools yourself, as you describe. > Recently my ubuntu host crashed, I re-installed with 10.04, the kernel > version is 2.6.32-21 and perf version is 2.6.35.8.
