[RFC PATCH 0/7] perf tools: Config BPF maps through perf cmdline

[Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>]

This patch set is based on commit d2f820885d8e ("perf tools: Pass
available CPU number to clang compiler") in my git tree [1]. It replaces
the old four patches in the git tree with improved solution.

In these 7 patches:

 1. perf is able to put values into map:
  # perf record -e mybpf.c/maps.values.value=1234/ ...

 2. perf is able to control different slots in a map separately:
  # perf record -e mybpf.c/maps.values.value[1,4-6]=1234,maps.values.value[0,2-3]=5678/ ...

 3. The second syntax can be applied to perf event also:
  # perf record -v -a -e evt=cycles -e mybpf.c/maps.pmu_map.event[0]=evt/ ...

 4. Compatible with the old syntax:
  # perf record -v -a -e evt=cycles -e mybpf.c/maps.pmu_map.event=evt/ ...
