Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs that can be attached to
HW and SW perf events (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE
correspondingly in uapi/linux/perf_event.h)

The program visible context meta structure is
struct bpf_perf_event_data {
struct pt_regs regs;
__u64 sample_period;
};
which is accessible directly from the program:
int bpf_prog(struct bpf_perf_event_data *ctx)
{
... ctx->sample_period ...
... ctx->regs.ip ...
}

The bpf verifier rewrites the accesses into kernel internal
struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern which allows changing
struct perf_sample_data without affecting bpf programs.
New fields can be added to the end of struct bpf_perf_event_data
in the future.

Two things I noticed below, otherwise for BPF bits:

Wouldn't this one rather need to be:

if (off == offsetof(struct bpf_perf_event_data, sample_period) {
if (size != sizeof(u64))
return false;
} else {
if (size != sizeof(long))
return false;
}

Otherwise on 32bit accessing sample_period might fail?

+{
+ struct bpf_insn *insn = insn_buf;
+
+ switch (ctx_off) {

Would be good to add a test as we usually have done:

BUILD_BUG_ON(FIELD_SIZEOF(struct perf_sample_data, period) != 8);

+ *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(bytes_to_bpf_size(FIELD_SIZEOF(struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern, data)),
+ dst_reg, src_reg,
+ offsetof(struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern, data));
+ *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_DW, dst_reg, dst_reg,
+ offsetof(struct perf_sample_data, period));
+ break;
+ default:
+ *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(bytes_to_bpf_size(FIELD_SIZEOF(struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern, regs)),
+ dst_reg, src_reg,
+ offsetof(struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern, regs));
+ *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(bytes_to_bpf_size(sizeof(long)),
+ dst_reg, dst_reg, ctx_off);
+ break;
+ }
+ return insn - insn_buf;
