Subject: [PATCHv2 RFC bpf-next 0/7] bpf: Add support for ftrace probe

hi,
sending another attempt on speeding up load of multiple probes
for bpftrace and possibly other tools (first post in [1]).

This patchset adds support to attach bpf program directly to
ftrace probe as suggested by Steven and it speeds up loading
for bpftrace commands like:

   # bpftrace -e 'kfunc:_raw_spin* { @[probe] = count(); }'
   # bpftrace -e 'kfunc:ksys_* { @[probe] = count(); }'

Using ftrace with single bpf program for attachment to multiple
functions is much faster than current approach, where we need to
load and attach program for each probe function.

Also available in
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git

thanks,
jirka
