Running linux perf on Mariner

[wmcleish-msft]

Is it possible to run linux perf on mariner? I can't seem to find it in the available packages in tdnf and I'm having difficulties trying to build it from source on my Mariner VM. Maybe I'm missing something since I haven't had to use perf before. If it is not available on Mariner then what profiling tools are? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

perf is provided by the package kernel-tools.

Use the following snippet to install perf:

sudo tdnf install kernel-tools

Also, Mariner ships with bpftrace & bcc as well, which are tools that leverage eBPF.
