The perf and python-perf packages have now been built for the current
EL7 kernel-lt and can be downloaded from the relevant directories
under the https://elrepo.org/people/ajb/devel/kernel-testing/el7/
directory.

The packages have been signed and carry a subsidiary ".bcat" tag. They
have not been tested.

Please see if they operate correctly for you.

Alan.
