Linux perf for Python 3.12 profiling

[haukurpj]

I wanted to try using the Linux perf tool to profile some Python code but ran into some problems.

When installing the actual Linux perf tool (https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-util/perf) the package requires "CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO" to be set and I'm not sure if I should set it.

I am currently using the distribution kernel and I have not changed any flags for my kernel and I don't know much about the different flags.

For my use-case, do I need to set this flag? I am aware that the package requires it, but would it simply not run otherwise?
