tools/bpf: add bpf_get_stack helper to tools headers
The tools header file bpf.h is synced with kernel uapi bpf.h. The new helper is also added to bpf_helpers.h. Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

+ * Description
+ * Return a user or a kernel stack in bpf program provided buffer.
+ * To achieve this, the helper needs *ctx*, which is a pointer
+ * to the context on which the tracing program is executed.
+ * To store the stacktrace, the bpf program provides *buf* with
+ * a nonnegative *size*.
+ *
+ * The last argument, *flags*, holds the number of stack frames to
+ * skip (from 0 to 255), masked with
+ * **BPF_F_SKIP_FIELD_MASK**. The next bits can be used to set
+ * the following flags:
+ *
+ * **BPF_F_USER_STACK**
+ * Collect a user space stack instead of a kernel stack.
+ * **BPF_F_USER_BUILD_ID**
+ * Collect buildid+offset instead of ips for user stack,
+ * only valid if **BPF_F_USER_STACK** is also specified.
+ *
+ * **bpf_get_stack**\ () can collect up to
+ * **PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH** both kernel and user frames, subject
+ * to sufficient large buffer size. Note that
+ * this limit can be controlled with the **sysctl** program, and
+ * that it should be manually increased in order to profile long
+ * user stacks (such as stacks for Java programs). To do so, use:
+ *
+ * ::
+ *
+ * # sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack=<new value>
+ *
+ * Return
+ * a non-negative value equal to or less than size on success, or
+ * a negative error in case of failure.
