Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is needed for Hubble events and connection tracking garbage
collection. Furthermore, a user reported that without this option,
Cilium crashes on startup with the following message:

    level=fatal msg="Cannot initialise BPF perf ring buffer sockets"
    error="failed to create perf ring for CPU 0:
           can't create perf event:
	   function not implemented"
