/*
* bperf: share hardware PMCs with BPF
*
* perf uses performance monitoring counters (PMC) to monitor system
* performance. The PMCs are limited hardware resources. For example,
* Intel CPUs have 3x fixed PMCs and 4x programmable PMCs per cpu.
*
* Modern data center systems use these PMCs in many different ways:
* system level monitoring, (maybe nested) container level monitoring, per
* process monitoring, profiling (in sample mode), etc. In some cases,
* there are more active perf_events than available hardware PMCs. To allow
* all perf_events to have a chance to run, it is necessary to do expensive
* time multiplexing of events.
*
* On the other hand, many monitoring tools count the common metrics
* (cycles, instructions). It is a waste to have multiple tools create
* multiple perf_events of "cycles" and occupy multiple PMCs.
*
* bperf tries to reduce such wastes by allowing multiple perf_events of
* "cycles" or "instructions" (at different scopes) to share PMUs. Instead
* of having each perf-stat session to read its own perf_events, bperf uses
* BPF programs to read the perf_events and aggregate readings to BPF maps.
* Then, the perf-stat session(s) reads the values from these BPF maps.

*
* The figure above shows the architecture of bperf. Note that the figure
* is divided into 3 regions: shared progs and maps (top left), per session
* progs and maps (top right), and user space (bottom).
*
* The leader prog is triggered on each context switch (cs). The leader
* prog reads perf_events and stores the difference (current_reading -
* previous_reading) to the diff map. For the same metric, e.g. "cycles",
* multiple perf-stat sessions share the same leader prog.
*
* Each perf-stat session creates a follower prog as fexit program to the
* leader prog. It is possible to attach up to BPF_MAX_TRAMP_PROGS (38)
* follower progs to the same leader prog. The follower prog checks current
* task and processor ID to decide whether to add the value from the diff
* map to its accumulated reading map (accum_readings).
*
* Finally, perf-stat user space reads the value from accum_reading map.
*
* Besides context switch, it is also necessary to trigger the leader prog
* before perf-stat reads the value. Otherwise, the accum_reading map may
* not have the latest reading from the perf_events. This is achieved by
* triggering the event via sys_bpf(BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN) to each CPU.
*
* Comment before the definition of struct perf_event_attr_map_entry
* describes how different sessions of perf-stat share information about
* the leader prog.
