Ignoring PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL? #738

@GitMensch

Description

@GitMensch

As seen in #513 perfparser knows about those events (printing its names), but does not handle them.

Those are the kernel notes on their addition which includes notes about their use and related structs:
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL

Question: Should (maybe only one of) those be silently ignored (I can provide a PR for that) or be actually handled (=backlog)?

Background: both of those may be "spawn a lot" in bigger traces and "flood" the output.
