Hi,

This series fixes a regression caused by moving UID filtering to BPF.
The regression affects all events that support auxiliary data, most
notably, "cycles" events on s390, but also PT events on Intel. The
symptom is missing events when UID filtering is enabled.

Patch 1 introduces a new option for the
bpf_program__attach_perf_event_opts() function.
Patch 2 makes use of it in perf, and also contains a lot of technical
details of why exactly the problem is occurring.

Thanks to Thomas Richter for the investigation and the initial version
of this fix, and to Jiri Olsa for suggestions.

Best regards,
Ilya
