perf parse-events: Remove BPF event support
New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the
BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit
fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF
map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix
libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well
maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event
parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as
in paths.
This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then
the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole
source files like bpf-loader.c. Removing support means that augmented
syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit
adding support using BPF skeletons.
The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex
generated code, so update build to ignore it:
```
util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label]
2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */
```
Committer notes:
Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for
linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an
external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF
bytecode.
Testing it:
# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
\___ Bad event or PMU
Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'home'
Initial error:
event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
\___ Cannot find PMU `home'. Missing kernel support?
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
