73df93c57c tools/bpftool: fix a bug in bpftool perf
Commit b04df400c3 ("tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand")
introduced bpftool subcommand perf to query bpf program
kuprobe and tracepoint attachments.

The perf subcommand will first test whether bpf subcommand
BPF_TASK_FD_QUERY is supported in kernel or not. It does it
by opening a file with argv[0] and feeds the file descriptor
and current task pid to the kernel for querying.

Such an approach won't work if the argv[0] cannot be opened
successfully in the current directory. This is especially
true when bpftool is accessible through PATH env variable.
The error below reflects the open failure for file argv[0]
at home directory.

  [yhs@localhost ~]$ which bpftool
  /usr/local/sbin/bpftool
  [yhs@localhost ~]$ bpftool perf
  Error: perf_query_support: No such file or directory

To fix the issue, let us open root directory ("/")
which exists in every linux system. With the fix, the
error message will correctly reflect the permission issue.

  [yhs@localhost ~]$ which bpftool
  /usr/local/sbin/bpftool
  [yhs@localhost ~]$ bpftool perf
  Error: perf_query_support: Operation not permitted
  HINT: non root or kernel doesn't support TASK_FD_QUERY

b04df400c3 tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand
The new command "bpftool perf [show | list]" will traverse
all processes under /proc, and if any fd is associated
with a perf event, it will print out related perf event
information. Documentation is also added.

Below is an example to show the results using bcc commands.
Running the following 4 bcc commands:
  kprobe:     trace.py '__x64_sys_nanosleep'
  kretprobe:  trace.py 'r::__x64_sys_nanosleep'
  tracepoint: trace.py 't:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep'
  uprobe:     trace.py 'p:/home/yhs/a.out:main'

The bpftool command line and result:

  $ bpftool perf
  pid 21711  fd 5: prog_id 5  kprobe  func __x64_sys_write  offset 0
  pid 21765  fd 5: prog_id 7  kretprobe  func __x64_sys_nanosleep  offset 0
  pid 21767  fd 5: prog_id 8  tracepoint  sys_enter_nanosleep
  pid 21800  fd 5: prog_id 9  uprobe  filename /home/yhs/a.out  offset 1159

  $ bpftool -j perf
