bpftool: Add {i,d}tlb_misses support for bpftool profile
Commit 47c09d6a("bpftool: Introduce "prog profile" command") introduced "bpftool prog profile" command which can be used to profile bpf program with metrics like # of instructions, This patch added support for itlb_misses and dtlb_misses. During an internal bpf program performance evaluation, I found these two metrics are also very useful. The following is an example output: $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles itlb_misses 1885029 run_cnt 5134686073 cycles 306893 itlb_misses $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles dtlb_misses 1827382 run_cnt 4943593648 cycles 5975636 dtlb_misses $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles llc_misses 1836527 run_cnt 5019612972 cycles 4161041 llc_misses From the above, we can see quite some dtlb misses, 3 dtlb misses perf prog run. This might be something worth further investigation.
