The bpf_program__attach of libbpf(using bpf_link) is much more intuitive than the previous method using ioctl. bpf_program__attach_perf_event manages the enable of perf_event and attach of BPF programs to it, so there's no neeed to do this directly with ioctl. In addition, bpf_link provides consistency in the use of API because it allows disable (detach, destroy) for multiple events to be treated as one bpf_link__destroy. Also, bpf_link__destroy manages the close() of perf_event fd. This commit refactors samples that attach the bpf program to perf_event by using libbbpf instead of ioctl. Also the bpf_load in the samples were removed and migrated to use libbbpf API. Signed-off-by: Daniel T.

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.
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.
