- The 'perf test bpf' entry hooked a eBPF proggie to the SyS_epoll_wait() kernel function and expected it to be hit when calling the epoll_wait() libc wrapper, which changed recently, in systems such as Fedora 27, with the glibc wrapper calling instead the epoll_pwait() syscall, so switch to epoll_pwait() for both the kernel and libc function, getting it to work both in old and new systems (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Beautify 'gettid' syscall result in 'perf trace', and in doing so noticed that we need to handle namespaces in 'perf trace', will be dealt with in follow up patches where we'll try to figure out if the recent support for namespace in tools/perf/ can be used for this purpose as well.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
