Yes. Please have a look at
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1446029705-199659-3-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com
and patch 23/31 - 31/31 in
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1444826502-49291-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com
We are working on a solution which truly utilizes bpf-output, including filling event array and extracting BPF output through perf data to CTF format. Now they are separated in multiple patchset, and I'd like to resend them to Arnaldo in this week.
Thank you.
