This set introduces perf-stat -b option to count events for BPF programs.
This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile. But perf-stat makes it much more
flexible.

Changes v4 => v5:
  1. Add documentation. (Jiri)
  2. Silent make output for removing .bpf.o file. (Jiri)

Changes v3 => v4:
  1. Split changes in bpftool/Makefile to a separate patch
  2. Various small fixes. (Jiri)

Changes v2 => v3:
  1. Small fixes in Makefile.perf and bpf_counter.c (Jiri)
  2. Rebased on top of bpf-next. This is because 1/2 conflicts with some
     patches in bpftool/Makefile.

Changes PATCH v1 => PATCH v2:
  1. Various fixes in Makefiles. (Jiri)
  2. Fix an build warning/error with gcc-10. (Jiri)

Changes RFC v2 => PATCH v1:
  1. Support counting on multiple BPF programs.
  2. Add BPF handling to target__validate().
  3. Improve Makefile. (Jiri)

Changes RFC v1 => RFC v2:
  1. Use bootstrap version of bpftool. (Jiri)
  2. Set default to not building bpf skeletons. (Jiri)
  3. Remove util/bpf_skel/Makefile, keep all the logic in Makefile.perf.
     (Jiri)
  4. Remove dependency to vmlinux.h in the two skeletons. The goal here is
     to enable building perf without building kernel (vmlinux) first.
     Note: I also removed the logic that build vmlinux.h. We can add that
     back when we have to use it (to access big kernel structures).

Song Liu (4):
  bpftool: add Makefile target bootstrap
  perf: support build BPF skeletons with perf
  perf-stat: enable counting events for BPF programs
  perf-stat: add documentation for -b option
