Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d3280ce01e perf test: Auto bump rlimit(MEMLOCK) for BPF test sake
I noticed that the 'perf test bpf' was failing:

  # perf test bpf
  41: BPF filter                                            :
  41.1: Basic BPF filtering                                 : Skip
  41.2: BPF pinning                                         : Skip
  41.3: BPF prologue generation                             : Skip
  41.4: BPF relocation checker                              : Skip
  # ulimit -l
  64
  #

Using verbose mode we get just a line bout -EPERF being returned from
libbpf's bpf_load_program_xattr(), that ends up being used in 'perf
test bpf' initial program loading capability query:

  Missing basic BPF support, skip this test: Operation not permitted

Not that informative, but on a separate problem when creating BPF maps
bumping rlimit(MEMLOCK) helped, so I tried it here as well, works:

  # ulimit -l 128
  # perf test bpf
  41: BPF filter                                            :
  41.1: Basic BPF filtering                                 : Ok
  41.2: BPF pinning                                         : Ok
  41.3: BPF prologue generation                             : Ok
  41.4: BPF relocation checker                              : Ok
  #

So use the recently added rlimit__bump_memlock() helper:

  # ulimit -l 64
  # perf test bpf
  41: BPF filter                                            :
  41.1: Basic BPF filtering                                 : Ok
  41.2: BPF pinning                                         : Ok
  41.3: BPF prologue generation                             : Ok
  41.4: BPF relocation checker                              : Ok
  # ulimit -l
  64
  #

I.e. the bumping of memlock is restricted to the 'perf test' instance,
not changing the global value.

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.
