Hi Song Liu, thank you for the fast reply, I'll add comments on top
of your original email.

I will not be available through out next week, so sorry if I'll have a late reply for follow ups.

Thanks in advance,

Please prefix the patch with the target tree (bpf or bpf-next). For example,
this patch should go via bpf-next.

Done


From: Jon Doron <jond@xxxxxx>

Add API for perfbuf to support writing a custom event reader.

This is too brief for such change. It is ok to duplicate text from the cover
letter.


Done

Please also update libbpf.map.


Done

Also, we should add a selftest to use these new APIs.


I'm not sure I'm following here what were you had in mind, in practice I could just change **bpf_perf_event_read_simple** implementation to use these new APIs to initialize it's variables (data_head, data_tail, base, mmap_size) and it would act exactly the same.
