if you're running a 4.2-rc kernel you are probably compiling it from 
scratch, so you can just build perf yourself (it's in the kernel source, 
in the tools/perf directory).

Also it's usually not a problem using an older version of perf with a 
newer kernel (though to avoid the annoying shell-script redirection you'll 
have to run "perf_4.0" or whatever manually).

I say usually, because even though perf versions are usually forward 
compatible I know that around 4.1 they changed up the tracepoint support 
so if you are using that functionality then you will need a newer version 
of the perf tool.
