Merge branch 'bpf_enable_stats'
Song Liu says:
====================
run_time_ns is a useful stats for BPF programs. However, it is gated by
sysctl kernel.bpf_stats_enabled. When multiple user space tools are
toggling kernl.bpf_stats_enabled at the same time, they may confuse each
other.
Solve this problem with a new BPF command BPF_ENABLE_STATS.
Changes v8 => v9:
1. Clean up in selftest (Andrii).
2. Not using static variable in test program (Andrii).
Changes v7 => v8:
1. Change name BPF_STATS_RUNTIME_CNT => BPF_STATS_RUN_TIME (Alexei).
2. Add CHECK_ATTR to bpf_enable_stats() (Alexei).
3. Rebase (Andrii).
4. Simplfy the selftest (Alexei).
Changes v6 => v7:
1. Add test to verify run_cnt matches count measured by the program.
Changes v5 => v6:
1. Simplify test program (Yonghong).
2. Rebase (with some conflicts).
Changes v4 => v5:
1. Use memset to zero bpf_attr in bpf_enable_stats() (Andrii).
Changes v3 => v4:
1. Add libbpf support and selftest;
2. Avoid cleaning trailing space.
Changes v2 => v3:
1. Rename the command to BPF_ENABLE_STATS, and make it extendible.
2. fix commit log;
3. remove unnecessary headers.
