Ok, works with the patch below, that needs some more renaming from "perf_" to
"libbpf_", etc:

[root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c sleep 5
0.000 sleep/160828 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep(__probe_ip: -1474734416, rqtp: 5000000000)
[root@quaco ~]#

Since I have:

[root@quaco ~]# cat ~/.perfconfig
[llvm]
dump-obj = true
clang-opt = -g
#

I end up with:

[root@quaco ~]# ls -la /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.o
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3696 Nov 3 12:47 /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.o
[root@quaco ~]# file /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.o
/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, eBPF, version 1 (SYSV), with debug_info, not stripped
[root@quaco ~]#

and can test with the pre-built .o eBPF bytecode + capped backtrace:

[root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.o/max-stack=6/ sleep 5
0.000 sleep/161037 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep(__probe_ip: -1474734416, rqtp: 5000000000)
hrtimer_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
common_nsleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
__x64_sys_clock_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms])
do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe ([kernel.kallsyms])
__GI___clock_nanosleep (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
[root@quaco ~]#

I'll test the other examples with these changes after I drive Pedro to
school and get back to the office.
