Thanks to your reply. I have accepted all of your advise and updated my 
csets:

  1. Don't use script to check kbuild dir. Instead, use asprintf() + 
access();

  2. Add CCs in each patches. Commit message of the top two patches in 
your perf/ebpf
     is updated.

Other changes including:

  3. Simplify test__llvm using asprintf();

  4. Bugfix: 'bpf tools: Load a program with different instances using 
preprocessor':
     1. Add missing '!';
     2. Allows bpf_program__unload() before the program is loaded to 
suppress
        warning message in 'perf test 38'.

The following changes since commit 101ef9b4f5c70dbfffa0186102c1014bd81a4ec7:

   bpf tools: Link all bpf objects onto a list (2015-07-13 18:48:17 -0300)

are available in the git repository at:

for you to fetch changes up to d7425110530a9457f55a44ac01ab81558a5a5cca:

   perf tools: Support attach BPF program on uprobe events (2015-07-14 
06:40:11 +0000)


Thank you.
