Merge branch 'bpf-perf-sample-addr'
Teng Qin says: ==================== These patches add support that allows bpf programs attached to perf events to read the address values recorded with the perf events. These values are requested by specifying sample_type with PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR when calling perf_event_open(). The main motivation for these changes is to support building memory or lock access profiling and tracing tools. For example on Intel CPUs, the recorded address values for supported memory or lock access perf events would be the access or lock target addresses from PEBS buffer. Such information would be very valuable for building tools that help understand memory access or lock acquire pattern. ==================== Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
