perf bpf: Automatically create bpf-output event __bpf_stdout__
This patch removes the need to set a bpf-output event in cmdline. By
referencing a map named '__bpf_stdout__', perf automatically creates an
event for it.
For example:
# perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
# perf script
usleep 4639 [000] 261895.307826: 0 __bpf_stdout__: ffffffff810eb9a1 ...
BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20 Raise a
0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e BPF even
0010: 74 21 00 00 t!..
BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"
usleep 4639 [000] 261895.407883: 0 __bpf_stdout__: ffffffff8105d609 ...
BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20 Raise a
0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e BPF even
0010: 74 21 00 00 t!..
BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"
perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000
equals to:
perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit=1,name=__bpf_stdout__/ \
-e ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=__bpf_stdout__/ \
usleep 100000
