2018-05-11tools: bpf: move the event reading loop to libbpfJakub Kicinski1-51/+15
There are two copies of event reading loop - in bpftool and trace_helpers "library". Consolidate them and move the code to libbpf. Return codes from trace_helpers are kept, but renamed to include LIBBPF prefix.

2018-05-11tools: bpftool: use PERF_SAMPLE_TIME instead of reading the clockJakub Kicinski1-11/+6
Ask the kernel to include sample time in each even instead of reading the clock. This is also more accurate because our clock reading was done when user space would dump the buffer, not when sample was produced.

2018-05-04tools: bpftool: add simple perf event output readerJakub Kicinski1-0/+347
Users of BPF sooner or later discover perf_event_output() helpers and BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY. Dumping this array type is not possible, however, we can add simple reading of perf events. Create a new event_pipe subcommand for maps, this sub command will only work with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps. Parts of the code from samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c.
