Simplify bpf_perf_event_read_simple() a bit and fix up some minor things along the way: the return code in the header is not of type int but enum bpf_perf_event_ret instead. Once callback indicated to break the loop walking event data, it also needs to be consumed in data_tail since it has been processed already. Moreover, bpf_perf_event_print_t callback should avoid void * as we actually get a pointer to struct perf_event_header and thus applications can make use of container_of() to have type checks. The walk also doesn't have to use modulo op since the ring size is required to be power of two.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
