[PATCH V3 1/2] bpf: control the trace data output on current cpu when perf sampling

From: Kaixu Xia
Date: Fri Oct 16 2015 - 03:42:49 EST


This patch adds the flag dump_enable to control the trace data
output process when perf sampling. By setting this flag and
integrating with ebpf, we can control the data output process and
get the samples we are most interested in.

The bpf helper bpf_perf_event_dump_control() can control the
perf_event on current cpu.
