      ("bpftool: Introduce "prog profile" command")
      introduced "bpftool prog profile" command which can be used
      to profile bpf program with metrics like # of instructions,
      
      This patch added support for itlb_misses and dtlb_misses.
      During an internal bpf program performance evaluation,
      I found these two metrics are also very useful. The following
      is an example output:
      
       $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles itlb_misses
      
                 1885029 run_cnt
              5134686073 cycles
                  306893 itlb_misses
      
       $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles dtlb_misses
      
                 1827382 run_cnt
              4943593648 cycles
                 5975636 dtlb_misses
      
       $ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles llc_misses
      
                 1836527 run_cnt
              5019612972 cycles
                 4161041 llc_misses
      
      From the above, we can see quite some dtlb misses, 3 dtlb misses
      perf prog run. This might be something worth further investigation.
