[PATCH v3 1/2] perf: support build BPF skeletons with perf

Song Liu
2020-12-08T18:17:44Z

BPF programs are useful in perf to profile BPF programs. BPF skeleton is
by far the easiest way to write BPF tools. Enable building BPF skeletons
in util/bpf_skel. A dummy bpf skeleton is added. More bpf skeletons will
be added for different use cases.
