[PATCH -next 0/2] perf stat: Support inherit events for bperf

Hi,

bperf (perf-stat --bpf-counter) has not supported inherit events
during fork() since it was first introduced.

This patch series tries to add this support by:
1) adding two new bpf programs to monitor task lifecycle;
2) recording new tasks in the filter map dynamically;
3) reusing `accum_key` of parent task for new tasks.

Thanks,
Tengda
