Yonghong Song b04df400c3 tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand
The new command "bpftool perf [show | list]" will traverse
all processes under /proc, and if any fd is associated
with a perf event, it will print out related perf event
information. Documentation is also added.

Below is an example to show the results using bcc commands.
Running the following 4 bcc commands:
  kprobe:     trace.py '__x64_sys_nanosleep'
  kretprobe:  trace.py 'r::__x64_sys_nanosleep'
  tracepoint: trace.py 't:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep'
  uprobe:     trace.py 'p:/home/yhs/a.out:main'

The bpftool command line and result:

  $ bpftool perf
  pid 21711  fd 5: prog_id 5  kprobe  func __x64_sys_write  offset 0
  pid 21765  fd 5: prog_id 7  kretprobe  func __x64_sys_nanosleep  offset 0
  pid 21767  fd 5: prog_id 8  tracepoint  sys_enter_nanosleep
  pid 21800  fd 5: prog_id 9  uprobe  filename /home/yhs/a.out  offset 1159

  $ bpftool -j perf

**bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] *OBJECT* { *COMMAND* | **help** }
**bpftool** **batch file** *FILE*
**bpftool** **version**
*OBJECT* := { **map** | **program** | **cgroup** | **perf** }
*OPTIONS* := { { **-V** | **--version** } | { **-h** | **--help** }
| { **-j** | **--json** } [{ **-p** | **--pretty** }] }
*MAP-COMMANDS* :=
{ **show** | **list** | **dump** | **update** | **lookup** | **getnext** | **delete**

DESCRIPTION
===========
*bpftool* allows for inspection and simple modification of BPF objects
on the system.
Note that format of the output of all tools is not guaranteed to be
stable and should not be depended upon.
OPTIONS
=======
-h, --help
Print short help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
-v, --version
Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
-j, --json
Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
option has no effect.
-p, --pretty
Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
