Description Tom Zanussi 2012-10-30 14:04:00 UTC 
A new tool called 'perf trace' was recently added to perf.  To enable it, libaudit needs to be enabled.  Looks like we'd need to add a new recipe for libaudit for that dependency first.

I have a patch for this that works on x86 and x86/64 but need to build for the other arches.
Comment 2 Tom Zanussi 2013-04-30 20:21:36 UTC 
The results of the review was that the entire Linux audit package needs to be modified for cross-builds and pushed upstream, rather than just locally fix up the libaudit portion needed by 'perf trace'.
Comment 3 Benjamin Esquivel 2015-05-27 16:05:22 UTC 
Have to check what is needed for the rest of the archs.
