commit 11c6cbe706f218a8dc7e1f962f12b3a52ddd33a9 upstream. A new 'perf bench epoll' will use this, and to disable it for older systems, add a feature test for this API. This is just a simple program that if successfully compiled, means that the feature is present, at least at the library level, in a build that sets the output directory to /tmp/build/perf (using O=/tmp/build/perf), we end up with: $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd* -rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 8176 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.bin -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 588 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.d -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 0 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.make.output $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.bin linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff3bf3f000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa984061000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa984417000) $ grep eventfd -A 2 -B 2 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP feature-dwarf=1 feature-dwarf_getlocations=1 feature-eventfd=1 feature-fortify-source=1 feature-sync-compare-and-swap=1 $ The main thing here is that in the end we'll have -DHAVE_EVENTFD in CFLAGS, and then the 'perf bench' entry needing that API can be selectively pruned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
