Continuing investigation...
After applying the fallback patch to allow new tools to work with older
kernels:

[root@felicio ~]# perf test bpf
39: BPF filter :
39.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
39.2: BPF pinning : Ok
39.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok
39.4: BPF relocation checker : Ok
[root@felicio ~]# uname -a
Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 4.13.0-rc7+ #1 SMP Mon Sep 11 13:56:18 -03 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@felicio ~]# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.17-157.el7_3.2.x86_64
[root@felicio ~]#

After applying the patch below I get to, which is what I am trying to
fix now:

[root@jouet ~]# perf test bpf
39: BPF filter :
39.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
39.2: BPF pinning : Ok
39.3: BPF prologue generation : FAILED!
39.4: BPF relocation checker : Skip
[root@jouet ~]#
Update the patch to the one at the end of this message to make it work
with older glibcs, so that we ask for epoll_pwait() and hook into that
as well().

Now checking why 39.3 fails...
Couldn't reproduce after fixing up some kernel build problems, the patch
below is all I need to have this working with both Fedora 27 and RHEL7,
please take a look and see if it continues to work on your systems,

It works for me. Thank you.

Since we test epoll_pwait, we'd better correct function names:
