Currently, some samples are using ioctl for enabling perf_event and attaching BPF programs to this event. However, the bpf_program__attach of libbpf(using bpf_link) is much more intuitive than the previous method using ioctl. bpf_program__attach_perf_event manages the enable of perf_event and attach of BPF programs to it, so there's no neeed to do this directly with ioctl. In addition, bpf_link provides consistency in the use of API because it allows disable (detach, destroy) for multiple events to be treated as one bpf_link__destroy. To refactor samples with using this libbpf API, the bpf_load in the samples were removed and migrated to libbbpf. Because read_trace_pipe is used in bpf_load, multiple samples cannot be migrated to libbpf, this function was moved to trace_helpers.
Applied, thanks!
