Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 0/4] perf tools: Support receiving output through BPF programs

Alexei provided a patchset to allow BPF programs output data to ring
buffer using helper bpf_perf_event_output() [1].  and have been merged
into net-next as commit a43eec304259a6c637f4014a6d4767159b6a3aa3 (bpf:
introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper).

This patchset introduces perf side code to utilize that helper,

This patchset only supports output data to CTF. It is enough for me
because my workflow is 'perf record' -> 'convert to CTF' -> 'python'.
However, I know some people heavily rely on 'perf script' to parse
trace in perf.data. Here I'd like discuss the way to show output data
using 'perf script'. Currently the only way to watch the output data
using perf script is to use '-D'.

Example:

############ BPF program #############
  struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") map_channel = {
      .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
      .key_size = sizeof(int),
      .value_size = sizeof(u32),
      .max_entries = __NR_CPUS__,
  };

  SEC("func_write=sys_write")
  int func_write(void *ctx)
  {
      struct {
          u64 ktime;
          int cpuid;
      } __attribute__((packed)) output_data;
      char error_data[] = "Error: failed to output\n";

      output_data.cpuid = bpf_get_smp_processor_id();
      output_data.ktime = bpf_ktime_get_ns();
      int err = perf_event_output(ctx, &map_channel,
                                  bpf_get_smp_processor_id(),
                                  &output_data, sizeof(output_data));
      if (err)
          bpf_trace_printk(error_data, sizeof(error_data));
      return 0;
  }
  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = 0x40300;

Wang Nan (4):
  perf tools: Enable pre-event inherit setting by config terms
  perf tools: Introduce bpf-output event
  perf data: Add u32_hex data type
  perf data: Support converting data from bpf_perf_event_output()
