Subject: [PATCH v4 perf,bpf 00/15] perf annotation of BPF programs

Changes v3 to v4:
1. Incorporate feedbacks from Jiri and Namhyung;
2. Fixed compilation error with different feature-disassembler-four-args;
3. Split some patches to smaller patches;
4. Improved error handleing in symbol__disassemble_bpf();
5. Made side band thread more generic;
6. Added comments as suggested.

Changes v2 to v3:
1. Remove unnecessary include in header files;
2. Improved error handling;
3. Better naming of functions, variables, etc.;
4. Enable bpf events by default for perf-top.

Changes v1 to v2:
1. Fix compilation error with different feature-disassembler-four-args;
2. Fix a segfault in perf-record;
3. Split patches 5/9 and 6/9 so that perf_env changes and perf.data changes
   are in separate patches.

This series enables annotation of BPF programs in perf.

perf tool gathers information via sys_bpf and (optionally) stores them in
perf.data as headers.

Patch 1/15 fixes a minor issue in kernel;
Patch 2/15 to 4/15 introduce new helper functions and use them in perf and
     bpftool;
Patch 5/15 to 9/15 saves information of bpf program in perf_env;
Patch 10/15 adds --bpf-event options to perf-top;
Patch 11/15 to 13/15 enables annotation of bpf progs based on information
     gathered in 5/15 to 9/15;
Patch 14/15 introduces side band polling thread that gathers information
     for special kernel events during perf-record or perf-top.
Patch 15/15 handles information of short living BPF program using the new
     side band polling thread.

Commands tested during developments are perf-top, perf-record, perf-report,
and perf-annotate.
