Package: linux-perf-4.16
Version: 4.16~rc6-1~exp1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

In kernel 4.16 perf has support for libopencsd, which decodes arm
coresight trace packets.  This should be enabled in debian kernels so
that it 'just works' for users.  perf compilation picks up libopencsd
if it installed so enabling it is simply a matter of adding it to the
build-dependencies so that it is available at build time.

Attached is a patch that does this.

However note that, whilst libopencsd is now packaged for debian it has
not yet been uploaded to the archive (one build issue remains to be
fixed before it can be uploaded), and clearly this build-dep can't be
added until the library is actually available. So this bug is blocked
on #891955
