[PATCH v2 net-next 0/6] perf, bpf: add support for bpf in sw/hw perf_events

[Alexei Starovoitov]

Hi Peter, Dave,

this patch set is a follow up to the discussion:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160804142853.GO6862%20()%20twins%20!%20programming%20!%20kicks-ass%20!%20net
It turned out to be simpler than what we discussed.

Patches 1-3 is bpf-side prep for the main patch 4
that adds bpf program as an overflow_handler to sw and hw perf_events.
Peter, please review.

Patches 5 and 6 are examples from myself and Brendan.

v1-v2: fixed issues spotted by Peter and Daniel.

Thanks!

Alexei Starovoitov (5):
  bpf: support 8-byte metafield access
  bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type
  bpf: perf_event progs should only use preallocated maps
  perf, bpf: add perf events core support for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
    programs
  samples/bpf: add perf_event+bpf example

Brendan Gregg (1):
  samples/bpf: add sampleip example
