I think at this point it's ok with either yours perf/core or bpf-next/master,
I waited for them to be in sync for this ;-)

but as you pointed out there's issue with perf linked with dynamic libbpf,
because the current version does not have the libbpf_register_prog_handler
api that perf needs now.. also it needs the fix and api introduced in this
patchset

I'll check and perhaps we can temporirly disable perf/bpf prologue generation
for dynamic linking..? until the libbpf release has all the needed changes
