perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event
This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:
# perf record --event bpf-file.c command
This patch does following works:
1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
file or object.
2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
in-memory object.
Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:
# perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1
Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.
Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.
