How to compile `linux-tools` (containing `perf` binary) from vanilla kernel sources?

I can build working kernel packages (kernel-image and kernel-headers) from vanilla kernel git sources (plus any random patches I like) following instructions at http://veithen.github.io/2013/12/19/ubuntu-vanilla-kernel.html (most important parts copied below in case the referenced page goes away):

1. Have enough unused disk space (15-20 GB)
2. (once) sudo apt-get install kernel-package git libssl-dev
3. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
4. cd linux
5. (optional) modify the source as needed, apply patches, add remotes etc.
6. cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
7. yes "" | make oldconfig or make olddefconfig unless you want to build an ancient kernel
8. fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-my-so-and-so-patches kernel-image kernel-headers -j $(nproc) or maybe make-kpkg --root=fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version=-my-so-and-so-patches kernel-image kernel-headers -j $(nproc) (I'm not sure if there's a difference but I've used the former but found references suggesting the latter.)

However, make-kpkg does not know how to build package linux-tools which contains (among other things) the command perf which I really would like to use. I know that I could build linux-tools using Ubuntu source code (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel) but is it possible to create package linux-tools from vanilla source?
