PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER has different values based on bitness

[David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com>]

32-bit perf binaries are not able to set filters on 64-bit kernels.

    $ perf record -e  net:netif_receive_skb --filter 'name == "eth1"
    Error: failed to set filter with 25 (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

The reason is that the definition of PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER contains 
a pointer:

#define PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER       _IOW('$', 6, char *)

the size of which of course differs for 32-bit and 64-bit. This has been 
there since the original commit (6fb2915df7f07) back in 2009.

Thoughts on how to fix this? Changing the definition of SET_FILTER 
breaks existing setups so that rules it out. What about something like this:

#define PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER_32       _IOW('$', 6, u32)

and then
