[PATCH v5 11/14] perf tools: Introduce bpf-output event

[Wang Nan]

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:channel.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
	...

Test result:
 # cat ./test_bpf_output.c
