[PATCHv2 0/3] perf tools: Fix prologue generation

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

hi,
sending change we discussed some time ago [1] to get rid of
some deprecated functions we use in perf prologue code.

Despite the gloomy discussion I think the final code does
not look that bad ;-)

This patchset removes following libbpf functions from perf:
  bpf_program__set_prep
  bpf_program__nth_fd
  struct bpf_prog_prep_result

v2 changes:
  - use fallback section prog handler, so we don't need to
    use section prefix [Andrii]
  - realloc prog->insns array in bpf_program__set_insns [Andrii]
  - squash patch 1 from previous version with
    bpf_program__set_insns change [Daniel]
  - patch 3 already merged [Arnaldo]
  - added more comments

  meanwhile.. perf/core and bpf-next diverged, so:
    - libbpf bpf_program__set_insns change is based on bpf-next/master
    - perf changes do not apply on bpf-next/master so they are based on
      perf/core ... however they can be merged only after we release
      libbpf 0.8.0 with bpf_program__set_insns change, so we don't break
      the dynamic linking
      I'm sending perf changes now just for review, I'll resend them
      once libbpf 0.8.0 is released

thanks,
jirka
