Yes.

Then I suggest a small interface modification in libbpf to return 
'struct bpf_object *',
then after loading we can iterator on each program in that object, creat 
kprobe points
then made evsels. We need to call convert_perf_probe_events() multiple 
times for each
object. Since Namhyung updates the probing interface, I think it becomes 
possible.

I'm glad to see you will working on this problem. If you have other 
ugrent business
to do, I think I can also start this work from Sept. 21 and will have 3 
days before
my vacation.

Thank you.
