Hi,

I'm trying to add new helpers to obtain a pid namespace, I'm working on kernel 4.13

I wanted to integrate this on bcc tools, so I added these helpers on

bcc/src/cc/compat/linux/virtual_bpf.h     
bcc/src/cc/compat/linux/bpf.h    
bcc/src/cc/export/helpers.h
bcc/src/cc/export/helpers.h

then just  to test one of them I modified bcc/tools/funccount.py

but I'm getting this error 

cnb@Debian9:~/bcc/tools$ sudo /usr/share/bcc/tools/funccount -p 385  c:malloc
bpf: Invalid argument
0: (85) call unknown#51
invalid func unknown#51

Failed to load BPF program trace_count_0: Invalid argument

Is something that I'm missing on the bcc side or on bpf side ?
