version 4.10 kernels fail when building custom package from the src.rpm, perf plugins aren't created

[stan]

Hi,

I usually run a custom kernel from the latest rawhide kernel packages
in the stable release.  I've been running 4.9 kernels during the
development cycle in F25, and they've been working fine.

When I tried to compile the stable 4.9 kernel, or a 4.10 kernel, for
F25, I hit errors. First, the location of the custom config file has
changed to SOURCES/kernel-local from config-x86_64-generic.  I noticed
my configuration was being ignored when building, and tracked it down.
Forty minutes to build instead of ten.

Then for 4.10 I hit this error [1].  It seems that the perf-plugins are
not being built, so no directory is being created for them, so the rpm
can't be built.  If I build without perf in the options,
rpmbuild -bb --without perf --without debug --without debuginfo
--without cross-headers --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec  >
build_output  2> error_output
the build and packaging is successful, the packages install fine, and
even boot into multiuser without problem.  But when I attempt to start
X using startx (LXDE), the system begins the X initialization, and then
hangs.  Locked.  The magic request keys do nothing, the mouse doesn't
move, the keyboard is inactive.

Is there a change in the 4.10 kernel that would cause behavior like
this?

These warnings are a little concerning too [2].

Thanks for any insight or help.
