After applying this patch I'm unable to use perf passing perf_event again like this:

# perf record -a -e evt=cycles -e ./test_config_map.c/maps.pmu_map.event=evt/ --exclude-perf ls

With -v it output:

...
adding perf_bpf_probe:func_write
adding perf_bpf_probe:func_write to 0x367d6a0
add bpf event perf_bpf_probe:func_write_return and attach bpf program 6
adding perf_bpf_probe:func_write_return
adding perf_bpf_probe:func_write_return to 0x3a7fc40
mmap size 528384B
ERROR: failed to insert value to pmu_map[0]
ERROR: Apply config to BPF failed: Invalid option for map, add -v to see detail
Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=
...

Looks like perf sets attr.inherit for cycles? I'll look into this problem.

Thank you.

Fix safety checks for bpf_perf_event_read():
- only non-inherited events can be added to perf_event_array map
   (do this check statically at map insertion time)
- dynamically check that event is local and !pmu->count
Otherwise buggy bpf program can cause kernel splat.

v1->v2: fix compile in case of !CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS

This patch is on top of
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/533585/
to avoid conflicts.
Even in the worst case the crash is not possible.
Only warn_on_once, so imo net-next is ok.
