[PATCH 5/8] perf record: Add clang options for compiling BPF scripts

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Oct 29 2015 - 19:06:32 EST


From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@xxxxxxxxxx>

Although previous patch allows setting BPF compiler related options in
perfconfig, on some ad-hoc situation it still requires passing options
through cmdline. This patch introduces 2 options to 'perf record' for
this propose: --clang-path and --clang-opt.
