Allow filters to be added to perf top events. One use is to workaround issues with: ``` $ perf top --uid="$(id -u)" ``` which tries to scan /proc find processes belonging to the uid and can fail in such a pid terminates between the scan and the perf_event_open reporting: ``` Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 3 (No such process) for event (cycles:P). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. ``` A similar filter: ``` $ perf top -e cycles:P --filter "uid == $(id -u)" ``` doesn't fail this way.

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 reStructuredText 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.
