Song Liu 606f972b13 perf bpf: Save bpf_prog_info information as headers to perf.data
This patch enables perf-record to save bpf_prog_info information as
headers to perf.data. A new header type HEADER_BPF_PROG_INFO is
introduced for this data.

Committer testing:

As root, being on the kernel sources top level directory, run:

  # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c -e *msg

Just to compile and load a BPF program that attaches to the
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints to trace the syscalls ending
in "msg" (recvmsg, sendmsg, recvmmsg, sendmmsg, etc).

Then do a systemwide perf record session for a few seconds:

  # perf record -a sleep 2s

Then look at:

  # perf report --header-only | grep -i bpf
  # bpf_prog_info of id 13
  # bpf_prog_info of id 14
  # bpf_prog_info of id 15
  # bpf_prog_info of id 16
  # bpf_prog_info of id 17
  # bpf_prog_info of id 18
  # bpf_prog_info of id 21
  # bpf_prog_info of id 22
  # bpf_prog_info of id 208
  # bpf_prog_info of id 209
  #

We need to show more info about these programs, like bpftool does for
the ones running on the system, i.e. 'perf record/perf report' become a
way of saving the BPF state in a machine to then analyse on another,
together with all the other information that is already saved in the
perf.data header:

Committer notes:

We can't use the libbpf unconditionally, as the build may have been with
NO_LIBBPF, when we end up with linking errors, so provide dummy
{process,write}_bpf_prog_info() wrapped by HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT for that
case.

Printing are not affected by this, so can continue as is.
