perf, bpf: Introduce PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
For better performance analysis of dynamically JITed and loaded kernel
functions, such as BPF programs, this patch introduces
PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL, a new perf_event_type that exposes kernel symbol
register/unregister information to user space.
The following data structure is used for PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL.
/*
* struct {
* struct perf_event_header header;
* u64 addr;
* u32 len;
* u16 ksym_type;
* u16 flags;
* char name[];
* struct sample_id sample_id;
* };
*/
