[PATCH v3 00/10] Move uid filtering to BPF filters

[Ian Rogers]

Rather than scanning /proc and skipping PIDs based on their UIDs, use
BPF filters for uid filtering. The /proc scanning in thread_map is
racy as the PID may exit before the perf_event_open causing perf to
abort. BPF UID filters are more robust as they avoid the race. The
/proc scanning also misses processes starting after the perf
command. Add a helper for commands that support UID filtering and wire
up. Remove the non-BPF UID filtering support given it doesn't work.

v3: Add lengthier commit messages as requested by Arnaldo. Rebase on
    tmp.perf-tools-next.

v2: Add a perf record uid test (Namhyung) and force setting
    system-wide for perf trace and perf record (Namhyung). Ensure the
    uid filter isn't set on tracepoint evsels.
