The source code for perf is included in the Linux kernel source tree under tools/perf.

Thanks Thomas but I can get this source in tar.bz2 format because my build infrastructure will automatically fetch this source from some repository like for Oprofile it fetched from sourceforge.net – Ram Nov 01 '13 at 08:16
Sure, you can get either xz or bz2 compressed patches or tarballs of the complete kernel source at [kernel.org](http://www.kernel.org/), or you could use the kernel sources provided by your target distribution (if there is one). – Thomas Nyman Nov 01 '13 at 09:30
