This is the 8th version which tries to introduce eBPF programs to perf.

Since version 7 is still being reviewed, this series keeps patch 1/49
to 37/49 identical to what they are in v7 except a small modification
in patch 36/48, which prints more debug information when silent is set,
and some context to rebase them onto newest tip/perf/core (a9a3cd9).

The core stuffs in this series resides in 38/49 - 49/49, which allow
users to access kernel data through parameters of eBPF programs. Now
it is possible to write eBPF programs like this:

 SEC("get_superblock=journal_get_superblock journal->j_errno")
 int get_superblock(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, int j_errno)
 {
         char fmt[] = "j_errno=%lx\n";
         bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), j_errno);
	 if (j_errno)
                 return 1;
	 return 0;
 }

Where, 'j_errno' in that function will be dereferenced according to
dwarf information by prologue generated by perf. 'err' indicates the
successfulness of the dereferencing.

He Kuang posted 2 series on that idea it a month ago:

    http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1432456091-73384-1-git-send-email-hekuang@huawei.com

This series totally rewrite its code, the interface is also changed.

In addition, this series of patches supports setting BPF program to
multiple probing points and generate different prologue for all of them
if necessary. Using glob matching is also allowed. In the above
example, there will be two journal_get_superblock() functions in kernel
if we compile both jbd and jbd2. That BPF function tracks both of them.

In this series:
 Patch 01/49 - 37/49  are identical to v7 series, except context
                      adjustments and a small improvement in 36/49.

 Patch 38/49 - 43/49  are preparation. Where 39/49 gives libbpf the
                      ability to load multiple instances. New interfaces
		      are introduced for it.

 Patch 44/49 - 47/49  introduce bpf-prologue.c into perf, whcih generates
                      prologue according to argument list of pevs. Core
		      functions are in 46/49. Its commit message
		      describes the detail of prologue generation.

 Patch 48/49 groups similar prologue together and only create one BPF
             program instance for events which can share prologue.

 Patch 49/49 adds '--vmlinux' to 'perf record' to allow it access dwarf
             information.
