There is a convenient Linux kernel makefile target "make deb-pkg" to build kernel, modules, headers as .deb. Then I can install/remove via dpkg command.

However, for perf compilation, there is only build source package option. I wonder if there is a way to build perf as installable.deb as well?

see the patch "kbuild: Build linux-tools package with 'make deb-pkg'". Or latest you could use this patch "RFC: builddeb: add linux-tools package with perf"However, those patch was not integrated into kernel source.

You can use these patches and apply them to the vanilla linux kernel. These patches are more recent than what was posted above. This will build linux-tools-*.deb packages. I've recently tested on the following versions:

  • linux-5.17.3 and linux-5.19.13
  • On linux-6.2.8 version, because libtraceevent was removed from the kernel, you'll have to remove the dpkg-shlibdeps $tools_dest/usr/bin/* $tools_dest/usr/lib64/traceevent/plugins/* line from the patch.
