Commit a43eec304259a6c637f4014a6d4767159b6a3aa3 (bpf: introduce
bpf_perf_event_output() helper) add a helper to enable BPF program
output data to perf ring buffer through a new type of perf event
PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT. This patch enable perf to create perf
event of that type. Now perf user can use following cmdline to
receive output data from BPF programs:
# perf record -a -e evt=bpf-output/no-inherit/ \
-e ./test_bpf_output.c/maps.bpf-output.event=evt/ ls
# perf script
perf 12927 [004] 355971.129276: 0 evt=bpf-output/no-inherit/:
ffffffff811ed5f1 sys_write
perf 12927 [004] 355971.129279: 0 evt=bpf-output/no-inherit/:
ffffffff811ed5f1 sys_write
