Subject: [PATCH 3/9] perf record: Add BPF event filter support
Use --filter option to set BPF filter for generic events other than the
tracepoints or Intel PT. The BPF program will check the sample data and
filter according to the expression.
For example, the below is the typical perf record for frequency mode.
The sample period started from 1 and increased gradually.
$ sudo ./perf record -e cycles true
$ sudo ./perf script
perf-exec 2272336 546683.916875: 1 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms])

When you add a BPF filter to get samples having periods greater than 1000,
the output would look like below:
$ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter 'period > 1000' true
$ sudo ./perf script
