I'd like to pull
commit 980737282232 ("capabilities: Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel
and user space")
into bpf-next to base my CAP_BPF work on top of it.
could you please prepare a stable tag for me to pull ?
Last release cycle Thomas did a tag for bpf+rt prerequisite patches and
it all worked well during the merge window.
I think that one commit will suffice.

I'll have a look.
