[PATCHES/RFC 1/5] perf bench uprobe + BPF skel

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

Hi,

	This adds a 'perf bench' to test the overhead of uprobes + BPF
programs, for now just a few simple tests, but I plan to make it
possible to specify the functions to attach the uprobe + BPF, other BPF
operations dealing with maps, etc.

	This is how it looks like now:

  [root@five ~]# perf bench uprobe all
  # Running uprobe/baseline benchmark...
  # Executed 1,000 usleep(1000) calls
       Total time: 1,053,963 usecs
  
   1,053.963 usecs/op
  
  # Running uprobe/empty benchmark...
  # Executed 1,000 usleep(1000) calls
       Total time: 1,056,293 usecs +2,330 to baseline
  
   1,056.293 usecs/op 2.330 usecs/op to baseline
  
  # Running uprobe/trace_printk benchmark...
  # Executed 1,000 usleep(1000) calls
       Total time: 1,056,977 usecs +3,014 to baseline +684 to previous
  
   1,056.977 usecs/op 3.014 usecs/op to baseline 0.684 usecs/op to previous

I put it here:

  git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git perf-bench-uprobe

Further ideas, problems?
