perf_event is a utility controller whose primary role is identifying cgroup membership to filter perf events; however, because it also tracks some per-css state, it can't be replaced by pure cgroup membership test. Mark the controller as implicitly enabled on the default hierarchy so that perf events can always be filtered based on cgroup v2 path as long as the controller is not mounted on a legacy hierarchy. "perf record" is updated accordingly so that it searches for both v1 and v2 hierarchies. A v1 hierarchy is used if perf_event is mounted on it; otherwise, it uses the v2 hierarchy. v2: Doc updated to reflect more flexible rebinding behavior.

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.
