Merge branch 'bpf: Add missed stats for kprobes'

Jiri Olsa says:

====================
hi,
at the moment we can't retrieve the number of missed kprobe
executions and subsequent execution of BPF programs.

This patchset adds:
  - counting of missed execution on attach layer for:
    . kprobes attached through perf link (kprobe/ftrace)
    . kprobes attached through kprobe.multi link (fprobe)
  - counting of recursion_misses for BPF kprobe programs

It's still technically possible to create kprobe without perf link (using
SET_BPF perf ioctl) in which case we don't have a way to retrieve the kprobe's
'missed' count. However both libbpf and cilium/ebpf libraries use perf link
if it's available, and for old kernels without perf link support we can use
BPF program to retrieve the kprobe missed count.

v3 changes:
  - added acks [Song]
  - make test_missed not serial [Andrii]

thanks,
