Getting these kernel files from kernel.ubuntu.com:
linux-headers-4.9.5-040905_4.9.5-040905.201701200532_all.deb
linux-headers-4.9.5-040905-generic_4.9.5-040905.201701200532_amd64.deb
linux-image-4.9.5-040905-generic_4.9.5-040905.201701200532_amd64.deb
And running:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.9.5-040905* linux-image-4.9.5-040905*
I get:
$ uname -r
4.9.5-040905-generic
So, this fails:
$ perf
WARNING: perf not found for kernel 4.9.5-040905
You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
linux-tools-4.9.5-040905-generic
linux-cloud-tools-4.9.5-040905-generic
Installing also fails:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-tools-4.9.5-040905-generic

E: Unable to locate package linux-tools-4.9.5-040905-generic
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-tools-4.9.5-040905-generic'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-tools-4.9.5-040905-generic'
I know it's probably becuase that set of tools doesn't exist in apt. When is the timeline for getting 4.9 linux-tools in apt assuming it's not there? What's a better workflow if you want the 4.9 kernel?
