Subject: [RFC bpf-next 0/4] bpftool: introduce prog profile

This set introduces bpftool prog profile command, which uses hardware
counters to profile BPF programs.

This command attaches fentry/fexit programs to a target program. These two
programs read hardware counters before and after the target program and
calculate the difference.

Sending as RFC because 2/4 will be replaced by Eelco Chaudron's work for
bpf_program__set_attach_target().

Please share your comments.

Thanks,
Song

Song Liu (4):
  bpf: allow bpf_perf_event_read_value in all BPF programs
  libbpf: introduce bpf_program__overwrite_section_name()
  bpftool: introduce "prog profile" command
