Subject: [PATCH perf,bpf 0/5] reveal invisible bpf programs

Changes RFC -> PATCH v1:

1. In perf-record, poll vip events in a separate thread;
2. Add tag to bpf prog name;
3. Small refactorings.

Original cover letter (with minor revisions):

This is to follow up Alexei's early effort to show bpf programs

   https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg524232.html

In this version, PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is introduced to send real time BPF
load/unload events to user space. In user space, perf-record is modified
to listen to these events (through a dedicated ring buffer) and generate
detailed information about the program (struct bpf_prog_info_event). Then,
perf-report translates these events into proper symbols.

With this set, perf-report will show bpf program as:

   18.49%     0.16%  test  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] ksys_write
   18.01%     0.47%  test  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] vfs_write
   17.02%     0.40%  test  bpf_prog            [k] bpf_prog_07367f7ba80df72b_
   16.97%     0.10%  test  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] __vfs_write
   16.86%     0.12%  test  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] comm_write
   16.67%     0.39%  test  [kernel.vmlinux]    [k] bpf_probe_read

Note that, the program name is still work in progress, it will be cleaner
with function types in BTF.

Please share your comments on this.

Thanks,
Song
