b25acdafd3 samples/bpf: Use libbpf 1.0 API mode instead of RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
We have switched to memcg-based memory accouting and thus the rlimit is
not needed any more. LIBBPF_STRICT_AUTO_RLIMIT_MEMLOCK was introduced in
libbpf for backward compatibility, so we can use it instead now.

This patch also removes the useless header sys/resource.h from many files
in samples/bpf.

f0c328f8af samples: bpf: Refactor tracepoint tracing programs with libbpf
For the problem of increasing fragmentation of the bpf loader programs,
instead of using bpf_loader.o, which is used in samples/bpf, this
commit refactors the existing tracepoint tracing programs with libbbpf
bpf loader.

    - Adding a tracepoint event and attaching a bpf program to it was done
    through bpf_program_attach().
    - Instead of using the existing BPF MAP definition, MAP definition
    has been refactored with the new BTF-defined MAP format.

2bf3e2ef42 samples: bpf: include bpf/bpf.h instead of local libbpf.h
There are two files in the tree called libbpf.h which is becoming
problematic.  Most samples don't actually need the local libbpf.h
they simply include it to get to bpf/bpf.h.  Include bpf/bpf.h
directly instead.

c535077789 samples/bpf: Add program for CPU state statistics
CPU is active when have running tasks on it and CPUFreq governor can
select different operating points (OPP) according to different workload;
we use 'pstate' to present CPU state which have running tasks with one
specific OPP.  On the other hand, CPU is idle which only idle task on
it, CPUIdle governor can select one specific idle state to power off
hardware logics; we use 'cstate' to present CPU idle state.

Based on trace events 'cpu_idle' and 'cpu_frequency' we can accomplish
the duration statistics for every state.  Every time when CPU enters
into or exits from idle states, the trace event 'cpu_idle' is recorded;
trace event 'cpu_frequency' records the event for CPU OPP changing, so
it's easily to know how long time the CPU stays in the specified OPP,
and the CPU must be not in any idle state.

This patch is to utilize the mentioned trace events for pstate and
cstate statistics.  To achieve more accurate profiling data, the program
uses below sequence to insure CPU running/idle time aren't missed:

- Before profiling the user space program wakes up all CPUs for once, so
  can avoid to missing account time for CPU staying in idle state for
  long time; the program forces to set 'scaling_max_freq' to lowest
  frequency and then restore 'scaling_max_freq' to highest frequency,
  this can ensure the frequency to be set to lowest frequency and later
  after start to run workload the frequency can be easily to be changed
  to higher frequency;

- User space program reads map data and update statistics for every 5s,
  so this is same with other sample bpf programs for avoiding big
  overload introduced by bpf program self;

- When send signal to terminate program, the signal handler wakes up
  all CPUs, set lowest frequency and restore highest frequency to
  'scaling_max_freq'; this is exactly same with the first step so
  avoid to missing account CPU pstate and cstate time during last
  stage.  Finally it reports the latest statistics.

The program has been tested on Hikey board with octa CA53 CPUs, below
is one example for statistics result, the format mainly follows up
Jesper Dangaard Brouer suggestion.

Jesper reminds to 'get printf to pretty print with thousands separators
use %' and setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "en_US")', tried three different arm64
GCC toolchains (5.4.0 20160609, 6.2.1 20161016, 6.3.0 20170516) but all
of them cannot support printf flag character %' on arm64 platform, so go
back print number without grouping mode.
