The bpf_perf_event_aux_pause kfunc will be used to control the Perf AUX
area to pause or resume.

An example use-case is attaching eBPF to Ftrace tracepoints.  When a
tracepoint is hit, the associated eBPF program will be executed.  The
eBPF program can invoke bpf_perf_event_aux_pause() to pause or resume
AUX trace.  This is useful for fine-grained tracing by combining
Perf and eBPF.

This commit implements the bpf_perf_event_aux_pause kfunc, and make it
pass the eBPF verifier.

The subject and commit message mentions to implement a kfunc,
but actually you implemented a uapi helper. Please implement a kfunc
instead (searching __bpf_kfunc in kernel/bpf directory).
