Hi Peter, Dave,

this patch set is a follow up to the discussion:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/4/304
It turned out to be simpler than what we discussed.

Patches 1-3 is a bpf-side prep for the main patch 4
that adds bpf program as an overflow_handler to sw and hw perf_events.
Peter, please review.

Patches 5 and 6 are tests/examples from myself and Brendan.

Thanks!

Alexei Starovoitov (5):
bpf: support 8-byte metafield access
bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type
bpf: perf_event progs should only use preallocated maps
perf, bpf: add perf events core support for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
programs
samples/bpf: add perf_event+bpf example

Brendan Gregg (1):
samples/bpf: add sampleip example
