Hello, I did that but I have a compilation error when I use 'make' command.

How can I fix this error ? I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, did I need to switch on version 20.04 ? Maybe the problem come from my GCC version ?

I don't know. I used WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04 which has gcc 9.3 and it worked. You could try with an other compiler.
As pointed by @StephanDollberg, note that most features of perf will not work because WSL doesnt support hardware counters.

I switched to Ubuntu 20.04 and it works perfectly, thanks. I think the problem came from my GCC version that I updated to version 10.

encountering the same error. it seems things had been changed

I'm running into this error:

jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:48:21: error: static declaration of ‘gettid’ follows non-static declaration
   48 | static inline pid_t gettid(void)
      |                     ^~~~~~

A search online has me thinking that the perf build may be broken with newer glibc versions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/13/1409

However, I had luck compiling perf from the linux-msft-wsl-5.10.16.3 branch, which is newer than what's in master at present:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel --depth 1 --branch linux-msft-wsl-5.10.16.3

Thanks, that help me a lot

This is a crlf issue. It can be fixed by running dos2unix over all files, or setting git config --global core.autocrlf input before checkout.

tbarbette · 2021-11-24T17:08:00Z

Thanks for the gist! To actually make sense of the perf record, and get the interactive menu, also install theses on top of flex and bison to let perf demangle binaries :
libdwarf-dev libelf-dev libnuma-dev libpython3-dev libunwind-dev libnewt-dev libdwarf++0 libelf++0 libdw-dev libbfb0-dev

jayg-hive · 2022-01-05T01:19:34Z

Just adding to this one. The source code to perf can also be downloaded from here. The instructions would change a bit:

Download the tar.gz file for the version you want. Here I picked 5.10.0, so the file is perf-5.10.0.tar.gz
Copy the tar file to your target destination (i.e., in ~)
Run tar -xvf perf-5.10.0.tar.gz
cd perf-5.10.0/tools/perf and run the rest of the instructions to build the binary.

WalterWoshid · 2022-02-12T03:04:06Z

@jayg-hive Thank you, this worked for me!

MondayCha · 2023-04-11T06:38:48Z

Thanks for the gist! To actually make sense of the perf record, and get the interactive menu, also install theses on top of flex and bison to let perf demangle binaries :谢谢你的要点！要真正理解 perf 记录，并获得交互式菜单，还要在 flex 和 bison 上安装这些文件，让 perf demangle 二进制文件： libdwarf-dev libelf-dev libnuma-dev libpython3-dev libunwind-dev libnewt-dev libdwarf++0 libelf++0 libdw-dev libbfb0-dev

Thanks, I am using ubuntu 22.04 on WSL 2 with kernel version v5.15.90.1, after installing the following packages, my perf works well:

# windows
wsl --update 
# wsl 2
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flex bison 
sudo apt install libdwarf-dev libelf-dev libnuma-dev libunwind-dev \
libnewt-dev libdwarf++0 libelf++0 libdw-dev libbfb0-dev \
systemtap-sdt-dev libssl-dev libperl-dev python-dev-is-python3 \
binutils-dev libiberty-dev libzstd-dev libcap-dev libbabeltrace-dev
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel --depth 1
cd WSL2-Linux-Kernel/tools/perf
make -j8 # parallel build
sudo cp perf /usr/local/bin

MillionthOdin16 · 2023-04-13T23:41:23Z

Awesome! Worked great after running this ty :)

windows

wsl --update

wsl 2

sudo apt update
sudo apt install flex bison
sudo apt install libdwarf-dev libelf-dev libnuma-dev libunwind-dev
libnewt-dev libdwarf++0 libelf++0 libdw-dev libbfb0-dev
systemtap-sdt-dev libssl-dev libperl-dev python-dev-is-python3
binutils-dev libiberty-dev libzstd-dev libcap-dev libbabeltrace-dev
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel --depth 1
cd WSL2-Linux-Kernel/tools/perf
make -j8 # parallel build
sudo cp perf /usr/local/bin

ProExpertProg · 2023-04-28T05:29:10Z

After fixing CRLF, worked like a charm!

LuisPeMoraRod · 2023-10-03T17:51:08Z

Worked great on WSL2 -> Ubuntu 20.04
Thanks for the help

I followed @MondayCha 's instructions.
I think maybe I have another perf installed and don't know how to get rid of it.

openjdk-8-jdk is already the newest version (8u382-ga-1~22.04.1).

ryanpeach · 2023-10-07T18:49:20Z

Fixed by resetting my WSL back to base and using the latest. Idk what was up with it.

patrick-nicodemus · 2023-10-24T18:48:36Z

PSA, if you have installed a different version of gdb than the version that usually comes with your system installation, you may fail to build perf.
I am on Ubuntu 22.04 and tried to do this.
I had previously compiled from source and installed gdb 13.1 and perf failed to build with an obscure warning.
After downgrading gdb to 12.1, which is the same version which is available from the apt repository, perf built successfully.
In my case it was not as simple as doing 'sudo apt-get install gdb' as my installation of gdb from source had overwritten many files. I needed to download the source of gdb 12.1, build it, and install it, overwriting all the existing 13.1 files.
