install perf into ubi8

Latest response

Context: By creating demos for IBM Tech Sales I am evaluating AI on power10 performance and need to demonstrate the value of a certain perf stat counter (pm_mma_issued). I have several demos that are servers running in docker ubi8 images. I must evaluate the counter every time the server gets a REST call, so I cannot simply wrap the "podman run" command in a "perf stat" call and the perf stat command must be called from within the docker container.

The problem is that /usr/bin/perf is not present in ubi8 and does not appear in any of the repos.

How can install perf into an ubi8 image?

Thanks,
