Merge branch 'bpf-Add-BPF-support-to-all-perf_event'

Merge branch 'bpf-Add-BPF-support-to-all-perf_event'

Alexei Starovoitov says:

====================
bpf: Add BPF support to all perf_event

v3->v4: one more tweak to reject unsupported events at map
update time as Peter suggested

v2->v3: more refactoring to address Peter's feedback.
Now all perf_events are attachable and readable

v1->v2: address Peter's feedback. Refactor patch 1 to allow attaching
bpf programs to all event types and reading counters from all of them as well
patch 2 - more tests
patch 3 - address Dave's feedback and document bpf_perf_event_read()
and bpf_perf_event_output() properly
====================
