Yes. Please have a look at

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1446029705-199659-3-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com

and patch 23/31 - 31/31 in

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1444826502-49291-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com

We are working on a solution which truly utilizes bpf-output, including
filling event array and extracting BPF output through perf data to CTF
format. Now they are separated in multiple patchset, and I'd like to
resend them to Arnaldo in this week.

Thank you.
