The BPF sample filtering requires two kernel changes below: * bpf_cast_to_kernel_ctx() kfunc (added in v6.2) * setting perf_sample_data->sample_flags (finished in v6.3) The perf tools can check bpf_cast_to_kernel_ctx() easily so it can refuse BPF filters on those old kernels (v6.1 and earlier). But checking sample_flags appears to be difficult so current code won't work on v6.2 kernel. That's unfortunate but I don't know what's the correct way to handle it. For now, let's skip v6.2 kernels explicitly (if failed) in the test.
