Merge branch 'bpf-perf'

Alexei Starovoitov says:

====================
bpf_perf_event_output helper

Over the last year there were multiple attempts to let eBPF programs
output data into perf events by He Kuang and Wangnan.
The last one was:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/20/736


It was almost perfect with exception that all bpf programs would sent
data into one global perf_event.
This patch set takes different approach by letting user space
open independent PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT events, so that program
output won't collide.

Wangnan is working on corresponding perf patches.
