Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] Use BPF filters for a "perf top -u" workaround

Allow uid and gid to be terms in BPF filters by first breaking the
connection between filter terms and PERF_SAMPLE_xx values. Calculate
the uid and gid using the bpf_get_current_uid_gid helper, rather than
from a value in the sample. Allow filters to be passed to perf top, this allows:

$ perf top -e cycles:P --filter "uid == $(id -u)"

to work as a "perf top -u" workaround, as "perf top -u" usually fails
due to processes/threads terminating between the /proc scan and the
perf_event_open.

Ian Rogers (3):
  perf bpf filter: Give terms their own enum
  perf bpf filter: Add uid and gid terms
  perf top: Allow filters on events
