Subject[PATCH v3 00/13] perf tools: BPF related update
Date
This patch set is based on perf/core.

Compare with v2:
- Checks return value of strdup()
- Change BPF map setting syntax to 'maps:[mapname].[event:value]<indices>=value'
For example:
'maps:mapname.value[1,3...5]=10'
Test cases in each commit message are also changed correspondingly.
(Thanks to Namhyung Kim)

This patch set improves perf's BPF support:

- Support filling BPF array with values

Users are allowed to pass something to BPF program through command
line without changing the program itself.

- Support filling BPF event array with events

BPF program can read PMU counters through BPF's perf_event_read()
helper.

- Support bpf_output_event() helper

BPF program can issue perf event to perf.data.

In most of the patches I list commands for testing them, both normal
case and error case.

He Kuang (2):
perf tools: Support perf event alias name
perf record: Support custom vmlinux path

Wang Nan (11):
tools lib bpf: Check return value of strdup when reading map names
perf tools: Add API to config maps in bpf object
perf tools: Enable BPF object configure syntax
perf record: Apply config to BPF objects before recording
perf tools: Enable passing event to BPF object
perf tools: Support setting different slots in a BPF map separately
perf tools: Enable indices setting syntax for BPF maps
perf tools: Introduce bpf-output event
perf data: Add u32_hex data type
perf data: Support converting data from bpf_perf_event_output()
perf tools: Always give options even it not compiled
