    tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand · b04df400
    Yonghong Song authored
    The new command "bpftool perf [show | list]" will traverse
    all processes under /proc, and if any fd is associated
    with a perf event, it will print out related perf event
    information. Documentation is also added.
    
    Below is an example to show the results using bcc commands.
    Running the following 4 bcc commands:
      kprobe:     trace.py '__x64_sys_nanosleep'
      kretprobe:  trace.py 'r::__x64_sys_nanosleep'
      tracepoint: trace.py 't:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep'
      uprobe:     trace.py 'p:/home/yhs/a.out:main'
    
    The bpftool command line and result:
    
      $ bpftool perf
      pid 21711  fd 5: prog_id 5  kprobe  func __x64_sys_write  offset 0
      pid 21765  fd 5: prog_id 7  kretprobe  func __x64_sys_nanosleep  offset 0
      pid 21767  fd 5: prog_id 8  tracepoint  sys_enter_nanosleep
      pid 21800  fd 5: prog_id 9  uprobe  filename /home/yhs/a.out  offset 1159
    
      $ bpftool -j perf
      [{"pid":21711,"fd":5,"prog_id":5,"fd_type":"kprobe","func":"__x64_sys_write","offset":0}, \

       {"pid":21767,"fd":5,"prog_id":8,"fd_type":"tracepoint","tracepoint":"sys_enter_nanosleep"}, \
