Something is missing, where is the message saying that I need to install
something to have bpf support? Look at the liblzma one at config/Makefile:556:

[acme@zoo linux]$ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ; m
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
  BUILD:   Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
