Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ec6dd85f6e perf trace beautify ioctl: Beautify vhost virtio ioctl's 'cmd' arg 
Also trying a new approach, using a copy of uapi/linux/vhost.h we auto
generate the string tables, then include it in the ioctl cmd beautifier.

This way either the KVM developers will add the new commands to the
tools/ copy, like is happening with other areas of tools/include/ (bpf.h
comes to mind), or we'll be notified when building perf that our copy
drifted.

E.g., doing syswide tracing grepping for the newly beautified VHOST
ioctls:

  # perf trace -e ioctl 2>&1 | grep VHOST

^C

 '-e ioctl' uses tracepoint filters, in time this will be replaces by
eBPF filters hooked at the syscall tracepoints and that "grep VHOST"
will also be done with eBPF, right at the kernel, to reduce overhead.

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.
