looks great.

   SEC("perfhook:record_start")
   void record_start(void *ctx)
   {
         int perf_pid = getpid(), key = G_perf_pid;
         printf("Start count, perfpid=%d\n", perf_pid);
         jit_helper__map_update_elem(ctx, &GVALS, &key, &perf_pid, 0);
the name, I think, is too verbose.
Why not to keep them as bpf_map_update_elem
even for user space programs?

I can make it shorter by give it a better name or use a wrapper like

BPF_MAP(update_elem)

but the only thing I can't do is to make perfhook and in-kernel script
use a uniform name for these bpf_map functions, because
bpf_map_update_elem is already defined:

"static long (*bpf_map_update_elem)(void *, void *, void *, unsigned long) = (void *)2;\n"


   SEC("perfhook:record_end")
   void record_end(void *ctx)
   {
         u64 key = -1, value;
         while (!jit_helper__map_get_next_key(ctx, &syscall_counter, &key, 
&key)) {
                 jit_helper__map_lookup_elem(ctx, &syscall_counter, &key, 
&value);
                 printf("syscall %ld\tcount: %ld\n", (long)key, (long)value);
this loop will be less verbose as well.
