BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY map is often used to send data from BPF program to user space for additional processing. libbpf already has very low-level API to read single CPU perf buffer, bpf_perf_event_read_simple(), but it's hard to use and requires a lot of code to set everything up. This patch adds perf_buffer abstraction on top of it, abstracting setting up and polling per-CPU logic into simple and convenient API, similar to what BCC provides. perf_buffer__new() sets up per-CPU ring buffers and updates corresponding BPF map entries. It accepts two user-provided callbacks: one for handling raw samples and one for get notifications of lost samples due to buffer overflow. perf_buffer__new_raw() is similar, but provides more control over how perf events are set up (by accepting user-provided perf_event_attr), how they are handled (perf_event_header pointer is passed directly to user-provided callback), and on which CPUs ring buffers are created (it's possible to provide a list of CPUs and corresponding map keys to update). This API allows advanced users fuller control. perf_buffer__poll() is used to fetch ring buffer data across all CPUs, utilizing epoll instance. perf_buffer__free() does corresponding clean up and unsets FDs from BPF map. All APIs are not thread-safe. User should ensure proper locking/coordination if used in multi-threaded set up.
