[PATCH 4/5] perf bench uprobe empty: Add entry attaching an empty BPF program

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Jul 19 2023 - 16:49:54 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

Using libbpf and a BPF skel:

# perf bench uprobe all
# Running uprobe/baseline benchmark...
# Executed 1,000 usleep(1000) calls
Total time: 1,055,618 usecs

1,055.618 usecs/op
# Running uprobe/empty benchmark...
# Executed 1,000 usleep(1000) calls
Total time: 1,057,146 usecs +1,528 to baseline

1,057.146 usecs/op
