Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] perf tools: Backward ring buffer support

Commit 9ecda41acb97 ("perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to
perf event") introduces backward ring buffer. This 4 patches add basic
support for reading from it, and add a new test case for it.

v1 -> v2:
  Patch 1/5 in v1 has been collected by perf/core, so remove it;
  Change function names in patch 2/5 in v1 (1/4 in v2):
      __perf_evlist__mmap_read -> perf_mmap__read

Wang Nan (4):
  perf tools: Extract perf_mmap__read()
  perf tools: Rename variable in perf_mmap__read()
  perf tools: Support reading from backward ring buffer
  perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer
