    perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event · d509db04
    Wang Nan authored
    This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
    directly using:
    
     # perf record --event bpf-file.c command
    
    This patch does following works:
    
     1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
        expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
        file or object.
    
     2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
        is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
        in-memory object.
    
    Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:
    
     # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1
    
    Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.
    
    Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.
