I'm getting this at the end of the compilation:

LINK perf
rm /home/jolsa/linux-perf/tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/bpf_prog_profiler.bpf.o

I guess we can keep it or make it silent somehow

we need man page update, would be great with some example

is there a reason for this to move before setup_system_wide?

I don't think it's a big deal, but just curious if that's intentional

this could return void

I think this should go to evsel__config where we set all attr bits
