Hi, Here is the 4th version of the series to support inherit events for bperf. This version adds an `inherit` flag to bperf to control inherit behavior. Considering future scalability, wrap the `inherit` flag with a new struct `bpf_stat_opts` before passing it to bpf_counter__load(). bperf (perf-stat --bpf-counter) has not supported inherit events during fork() since it was first introduced. This patch series tries to add this support by: 1) adding two new bpf programs to monitor task lifecycle; 2) recording new tasks in the filter map dynamically; 3) reusing `accum_key` of parent task for new tasks.
