[PATCH v6 2/4] perf: support build BPF skeletons with perf

From: Song Liu
Date: Mon Dec 28 2020 - 12:42:12 EST


BPF programs are useful in perf to profile BPF programs. BPF skeleton is
by far the easiest way to write BPF tools. Enable building BPF skeletons
in util/bpf_skel. A dummy bpf skeleton is added. More bpf skeletons will
be added for different use cases.
