[RFC PATCH v2 00/15] perf bpf: Probing with local variable

[He Kuang]

This is the 2nd version of perf bpf: Probing with local variable,
original discusions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/5/260.

Patches based on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/17/84 (perf tools:
introduce 'perf bpf' command to load eBPF programs).

v1-v2:

  - Copy bpf byte-code related headers to tools/lib/bpf.
  
  - Combine pt_regs offset to arch_regs_table, and add
    calling_regs_table.
    
  - Support $params without debuginfo and use the same keyword for
    generating bpf prologue without debuginfo.
    
  - Save bpf prologue intermediate result to stack, so we can use the
    4 regs(R2,R3,R4,R5) for variable passing according to bpf calling
    convention.
    
  - Move bpf prologue code to tools/lib/bpf.
  
  - Sample codes in patch instead of comments.
  
  - Fix code style problems mentioned by Alexei and Masami.

Thanks.
