Subject: [offlist] Re: [GIT PULL 00/54] perf tools: Bugfix, BPF improvements
 and overwrite ring buffer support

Hi Arnaldo,

We didn't make too much progress on this patchset for several weeks.
Kernel support of bpf-output has already been merged by v4.4, but perf
side code is still missing in v4.5. Do you have any plan on it?

Brendan asked this feature this month. I think he would be disappointed
because he still unable to use them on v4.5 kernel...

Thank you.
