Subject: [PATCH] sample/bpf: Make perf_event_read() static


While testing Joe's conversion of samples/bpf/ to use tools/lib/bpf/ I
noticed some warnings, do you guys mind if I put patches like the one
below in my tree, pushing to Ingo soon?

Or is there anything subtle against doing so?


----

While building samples/bpf/ on a Fedora Rawhide container, with
clang/llvm 3.9 I noticed this:

root@...97fdfbf4f linux]# make -j4 O=/tmp/build/linux/ samples/bpf/
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/build/linux'
  CHK     include/config/kernel.release
  GEN     ./Makefile

prototype for 'perf_event_read' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
 void perf_event_read(print_fn fn)
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  HOSTLD  samples/bpf/trace_output
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/linux'

Shutup the compiler by setting that function as static.
