Hi,

I met perf bug by meta-freescale as following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
tmp/work/armv8-linux/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/perf-in.o: in function `find_address_in_section':
| /usr/src/debug/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/tools/perf/util/srcline.c:200: undefined reference to `bfd_get_section_flags'

I found that this bug has been fixed in upstream:

perf: Make perf able to build with latest libbfd

libbfd has changed the bfd_section_* macros to inline functions
bfd_section_<field> since 2019-09-18. See below two commits:
o http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2019-09/msg00064.html
o https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2019-09/msg00072.html

This fix make perf able to build with both old and new libbfd.

I want to know when linux-qoriq will be updated next time?

I have this patch ported to linux-imx kernel [1], probably you should
do the same for linux-qoriq. Try to add it into the recipe and if it
would work out - send a PR.

Best regards
