By introducing support for ->fill_link_info to the perf_event link, users gain the ability to inspect it using `bpftool link show`. While the current approach involves accessing this information via `bpftool perf show`, consolidating link information for all link types in one place offers greater convenience. Additionally, this patch extends support to the generic perf event, which is not currently accommodated by `bpftool perf show`. While only the perf type and config are exposed to userspace, other attributes such as sample_period and sample_freq are ignored. It's important to note that if kptr_restrict is not permitted, the probed address will not be exposed, maintaining security measures. A new enum bpf_perf_event_type is introduced to help the user understand which struct is relevant.

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.
