    bpf: Support ->fill_link_info for perf_event · 1b715e1b
    Yafang Shao authored
    By introducing support for ->fill_link_info to the perf_event link, users
    gain the ability to inspect it using `bpftool link show`. While the current
    approach involves accessing this information via `bpftool perf show`,
    consolidating link information for all link types in one place offers
    greater convenience. Additionally, this patch extends support to the
    generic perf event, which is not currently accommodated by
    `bpftool perf show`. While only the perf type and config are exposed to
    userspace, other attributes such as sample_period and sample_freq are
    ignored. It's important to note that if kptr_restrict is not permitted, the
    probed address will not be exposed, maintaining security measures.
    
    A new enum bpf_perf_event_type is introduced to help the user understand
    which struct is relevant.
