<content type='text'>
Add processing for PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events. When a text poke event
is processed, then the kernel dso data cache is updated with the poked
bytes.

Synthesize cgroup events by iterating cgroup filesystem directories.
The cgroup event only saves the portion of cgroup path after the mount
point and the cgroup id (which actually is a file handle).

<content type='text'>
Implement basic functionality to support cgroup tracking.  Each cgroup
can be identified by inode number which can be read from userspace too.
The actual cgroup processing will come in the later patch.

No need for that _event suffix, do just like all the other meta event
handlers and suppress that suffix.

<title>perf report: Add stub processing of compressed events for -D</title>

Committer note:

Split from a larger patch, this only dumps PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED as
unhandled, so that when we introduce the record part in the next patch,
we don't see unhandled events when using 'perf record -D'.

Changed it so that we dump the event if the handler is just a stub, i.e.
for the case where we don't have ZSTD linked but we're processing a
perf.data file generated by a tool with that linked.

Also when failing to decompress we can't just dump the uncompressed
event and return 0, we have to propagate the error.

<title>perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT</title>

<id>urn:sha1:45178a928a4b7c6093f6621e627d09909e81cc13</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT.  Tracking of
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to
turn it on.

Committer notes:

Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for
systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking
the build in such systems.

Remove the needless include &lt;machine.h&gt; from bpf-&gt;event.h, provide just
forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to
reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets
changed.

Committer testing:

When running with:

 # perf record --bpf-event

On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from
perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels:

And then proceeds to work without those two features.

As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we
should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can
be done on top of this patch.

Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a'
and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF
augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus
should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf record -e dummy -a --bpf-event
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.713 MB perf.data ]

This patch handles PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL in perf record/report.
Specifically, map and symbol are created for ksymbol register, and
removed for ksymbol unregister.

This patch also sets perf_event_attr.ksymbol properly. The flag is ON by
default.

Committer notes:

Use proper inttypes.h for u64, fixing the build in some environments
like in the android NDK r15c targetting ARM 32-bit.

I.e. fixing this build error:

  util/event.c: In function 'perf_event__fprintf_ksymbol':
  util/event.c:1489:10: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u64' [-Werror=format=]
            event-&gt;ksymbol_event.flags, event-&gt;ksymbol_event.name);
            ^
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Now that we keep a perf_tool pointer inside perf_session, there's no need
to have a perf_tool argument in the event_op3 callback. Remove it.
