[PATCH v4 00/16] perf tools: BPF related update and other improvements

[Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>]

Hi Arnaldo,

   Glad to see you start processing patches again. This patch set
contains all BPF related patches and two other patches in my local
tree. I have rebased them onto your newest perf/core. Please review
them when you have time.

This patch set is based on perf/core.

Compare with v3:

 - Rebase on newest perf/core

 - Small commit message improvements

 - Fetch map names from correct strtab (2/16)

 - Patch 15-16 are not related to BPF. Send them together because they
   stay in my local tree for sereval days.

  perf tools: Support perf event alias name
