Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 8fc375d7d3 perf test shell: Add uprobes + backtrace ping test
Installs a probe on libc's inet_pton function, that will use uprobes,
then use 'perf trace' on a ping to localhost asking for just one packet
with the a backtrace 3 levels deep, check that it is what we expect.
This needs no debuginfo package, all is done using the libc ELF symtab
and the CFI info in the binaries.

Testing it:

  # perf test ping
  61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping       : Ok

In verbose mode:

  # perf test -v ping
  61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping       :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 1007
  PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes
  64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.058 ms
  --- ::1 ping statistics ---
  1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
  rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.058/0.058/0.058/0.000 ms
  0.000 probe_libc:inet_pton:(7f75fce12a20))
  __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.24.so)
  getaddrinfo (/usr/lib64/libc-2.24.so)
  _init (/usr/bin/ping)
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Ok

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.
