Changes v8 to v9: 1. Rebase on top of torvalds/master: commit ea295481b6e313b4ea3ca2720ffcafd6005b5643 ; 2. Change perf-record option --bpf-event to --no-bpf-event. Changes v7 to v8: 1. Address issues suggested by Jiri and Stanislav. Changes v6 to v7: 1. Fix minor issues suggested by Jiri. Changes v5 to v6: 1. Improve side band evlist interface; 2. Minor style fixes. Changes v4 to v5: 1. Rebase to latest bpf-next; 2. Add dependency of 94816add0005 from Arnaldo's tree; 3. More details in change logs; 4. Add perf_env__init() to init bpf related lock and rbtrees; 5. Small clean ups. Changes v3 to v4: 1. Incorporate feedbacks from Jiri and Namhyung; 2. Fixed compilation error with different feature-disassembler-four-args; 3. Split some patches to smaller patches; 4. Improved error handleing in symbol__disassemble_bpf(); 5. Made side band thread more generic; 6. Added comments as suggested. Changes v2 to v3: 1. Remove unnecessary include in header files; 2. Improved error handling; 3. Better naming of functions, variables, etc.; 4. Enable bpf events by default for perf-top. Changes v1 to v2: 1. Fix compilation error with different feature-disassembler-four-args; 2. Fix a segfault in perf-record; 3. Split patches 5/9 and 6/9 so that perf_env changes and perf.data changes are in separate patches. This series enables annotation of BPF programs in perf. perf tool gathers information via sys_bpf and (optionally) stores them in perf.data as headers. Patch 1/15 changes --bpf-event option to --no-bpf-event; Patch 2/15 to 4/15 introduce new helper functions and use them in perf and bpftool; Patch 5/15 to 9/15 saves information of bpf program in perf_env; Patch 10/15 adds --bpf-event options to perf-top; Patch 11/15 to 13/15 enables annotation of bpf progs based on information gathered in 5/15 to 9/15; Patch 14/15 introduces side band polling thread that gathers information for special kernel events during perf-record or perf-top. Patch 15/15 handles information of short living BPF program using the new side band polling thread. Commands tested during developments are perf-top, perf-record, perf-report, and perf-annotate.
