Hello John,

> I was in the mood to try some of these new bpf tools. Does the linux libre kernel support it?

Yes it should support it, plus according to this[1], we have the right
Kernel configuration (except maybe for CONFIG_BPF_JIT).

Now, it's just a matter of packaging "bcc" and "bpftrace" I guess.

Thanks,

Mathieu
