perf/bpf: Extend the perf_event_read_local() interface, a.k.a. "bpf: perf event change needed for subsequent bpf helpers"
eBPF programs would like access to the (perf) event enabled and running times along with the event value, such that they can deal with event multiplexing (among other things). This patch extends the interface; a future eBPF patch will utilize the new functionality. [ Note, there's a same-content commit with a poor changelog and a meaningless title in the networking tree as well - but we need this change for subsequent perf work, so apply it here as well, with a proper changelog. Hopefully Git will be able to sort out this somewhat messy workflow, if there are no other, conflicting changes to these files. ] Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> [ Rewrote the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: <ast@fb.com> Cc: <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: David S.
