/*
 * bpf_perf uses a hashmap, the attr_map, to track all the leader programs.
 * The hashmap is pinned in bpffs. flock() on this file is used to ensure
 * no concurrent access to the attr_map.  The key of attr_map is struct
 * perf_event_attr, and the value is struct perf_event_attr_map_entry.
 *
 * struct perf_event_attr_map_entry contains two __u32 IDs, bpf_link of the
 * leader prog, and the diff_map. Each perf-stat session holds a reference
 * to the bpf_link to make sure the leader prog is attached to sched_switch
 * tracepoint.
 *
 * Since the hashmap only contains IDs of the bpf_link and diff_map, it
 * does not hold any references to the leader program. Once all perf-stat
 * sessions of these events exit, the leader prog, its maps, and the
 * perf_events will be freed.
