Subject: [PATCH net-next] bpf: update perf event helper function signature and
 documentation

From: Teng Qin <qinteng@...com>

This commit updates function signature of the bpf_perf_event_output and
bpf_perf_event_read helpers to match their implementation. Also updates
their documentation in the header files.
