We'll need it for the cgroup patches, and its better to have it in a
separate patch in case we need to later revert the cgroup patches.
I.e. without this we have:
[root@five ~]# perf test -v python
19: 'import perf' in python :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 148447
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: down_write
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: FAILED!

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.
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.
