agree with Arnaldo. The output is misleading. All these events will disappear when 'perf record' is over. Please trim it.
btw we've been thinking how to make truly global programs and maps, so that they can be used in 'perf probe' interface. Right now in 'tc' we're using bpf_agent. It's a user space demon that keeps prog_fd and map_fds and passes them to other apps via scm_rights. We've started experimenting with fuse for this purpose as well, but that's similar user space demon and not very convenient for perf to talk to such fuse. The work in that area is still very rough, just fyi.
