Daniel Borkmann a64af0ef1c bpf, libbpf: use correct barriers in perf ring buffer walk
Given libbpf is a generic library and not restricted to x86-64 only,
the compiler barrier in bpf_perf_event_read_simple() after fetching
the head needs to be replaced with smp_rmb() at minimum. Also, writing
out the tail we should use WRITE_ONCE() to avoid store tearing.

Now that we have the logic in place in ring_buffer_read_head() and
ring_buffer_write_tail() helper also used by perf tool which would
select the correct and best variant for a given architecture (e.g.
x86-64 can avoid CPU barriers entirely), make use of these in order
to fix bpf_perf_event_read_simple().

Fixes: d0cabbb021 ("tools: bpf: move the event reading loop to libbpf")
Fixes: 39111695b1 ("samples: bpf: add bpf_perf_event_output example")

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.
