Alexei Starovoitov e3edfdec04 samples/bpf: add tracepoint vs kprobe performance tests
the first microbenchmark does
fd=open("/proc/self/comm");
for() {
  write(fd, "test");
}
and on 4 cpus in parallel:
                                      writes per sec
base (no tracepoints, no kprobes)         930k
with kprobe at __set_task_comm()          420k
with tracepoint at task:task_rename       730k

For kprobe + full bpf program manully fetches oldcomm, newcomm via bpf_probe_read.
For tracepint bpf program does nothing, since arguments are copied by tracepoint.

2nd microbenchmark does:
fd=open("/dev/urandom");
for() {
  read(fd, buf);
}
and on 4 cpus in parallel:
                                       reads per sec
base (no tracepoints, no kprobes)         300k
with kprobe at urandom_read()             279k
with tracepoint at random:urandom_read    290k

bpf progs attached to kprobe and tracepoint are noop.
