We were setting this only in machine__init(), i.e. for the map_groups that
holds the kernel module maps, not for the one used for a thread's executable
mmaps.
Now we are sure that we can obtain the machine where a thread is by going
via thread->mg->machine, thus we can, in the following patch, make all
codepaths that receive machine _and_ thread, drop the machine one.

The libunwind provides two caching policy which are global and
per-thread. As perf unwinds callchains in a single thread, it'd
sufficient to use global caching.
This speeds up my perf report from 14s to 7s on a ~260MB data file.
Although the output sometimes contains a slight difference (~0.01% in
terms of number of lines printed) on callchains which were not resolved.

The unw_addr_space_t in libunwind represents an address space to be used
for stack unwinding. It doesn't need to be create/destory everytime to
unwind callchain (as in get_entries) and can have a same lifetime as
thread (unless exec called).
So move the address space construction/destruction logic to the thread
lifetime handling functions. This is a preparation to enable caching in
the unwind library.
Note that it saves unw_addr_space_t object using thread__set_priv(). It
seems currently only used by perf trace and perf kvm stat commands which
don't use callchain.

Tools may wish to track on which cpu a thread is running. Add 'cpu' to
struct thread for that purpose.
This will be used to determine the cpu when decoding a per-thread
Instruction Trace.
E.g: Intel PT decoding uses sched_switch events to determine which task
is running on which cpu. The Intel PT data comes straight from the
hardware which doesn't know about linux threads.

Moving towards sharing map groups within a process threads.
Because of this we need the map groups to be dynamically allocated. No
other functional change is intended in here.
Based on a patch by Jiri Olsa, but this time _just_ making the
conversion from statically allocating thread->mg to turning it into a
pointer and instead of initializing it at thread's constructor,
introduce a constructor/destructor for the map_groups class and
call at thread creation time.
Later we will introduce the get/put methods when we move to sharing
those map_groups, when the get/put refcounting semantics will be needed.

The comm overriding API ignores memory allocation failures by silently
keeping the previous and out of date comm.
As a result, the user may get buggy events without ever being notified
about the problem and its source.
Lets start to fix this by propagating the error from the API. Not all
callers may be doing proper error handling on comm set yet but this is
the first step toward it.

This new COMM infrastructure provides two features:
1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we
can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events.
As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated
entries for pre and post exec time after a fork.
2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but
rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads
COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort
infrastructure.

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to
a precise COMM:timeslice couple.
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus
should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no
sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread
without time informations.

As the thread comm is going to be implemented by way of a more
complicated data structure than just a pointer to a string from the
thread struct, convert the readers of comm to use an accessor instead of
accessing it directly.
The accessor will be later overriden to support an enhanced comm
implementation.

This fixes a long-standing bug caused by the lack of separate COMM and EXEC
record types, which makes "perf report" lose track of symbols when a process
renames itself.
With this fix (suggested by Stephane Eranian), a COMM (rename) no longer
flushes the maps, which is the correct behavior. An EXEC also no longer
flushes the maps, but this doesn't matter because as new mappings are created
(for the executable and the libraries) the old mappings are automatically
removed. This is not by accident: the functionality is necessary because DLLs
can be explicitly loaded at any time with dlopen(), possibly on top of existing
text, so "perf report" handles correctly the clobbering of new mappings on top
of old ones.
An alternative patch (which I proposed earlier) would be to introduce a
separate PERF_RECORD_EXEC type, but it is a much larger change (about 300
lines) and is not necessary.

For long running sessions with many threads with short lifetimes the
amount of memory that the buildid process takes is too much.
Since we don't have hist_entries that may be pointing to them, we can
just release the resources associated with each thread when the exit
(PERF_RECORD_EXIT) event is received.
For normal processing we need to annotate maps with hits, and thus
hist_entries pointing to it and drop the ones that had none. Will be
done in a followup patch.

of thread-wide
Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide
collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10
threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread
statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole
process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage
style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add
--tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection.
Usage example is:
# perf top -p 8888
# perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10
# perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10

If -vv is used just the map table will be printed, -vvv will
print the symbol table too, with it we can see that we have a
bug where some samples are not being resolved to a map when we
get them in the perf.data stream, but after we have it all
processed, we can find the right map, some reordering probably
is happening.
Upcoming patches will provide ways to ask for most PERF_SAMPLE_
conditional samples to be taken for !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events
too, then we'll be able to ask for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME and
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU to help diagnose this.

Even though we don't register the counters until the child is right about
to exec(), we're still going to get at least a few events while the
fork()'d child is still executing 'perf' and in particular we're going to
get the MMAP events.
We can't distinguish the ones in the newly executed process because the
PID will be the same.
One way to solve this would be to have a PERF_RECORD_EXEC event, and when
this is seen 'perf' can flush it's map cache. We can't use
PERF_RECORD_COMM since that's generated by other things, not just exec().
Actually, thinking about it some more, using PERF_RECORD_COMM might be a
good enough approximation.

Be more clear about DSO long names and tell from which file
kernel symbols were obtained, all in --verbose mode:
[root@mica ~]# perf report -v > /dev/null
Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long)
Using /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc8-tip-00777-g0918527-dirty/build/vmlinux for symbols
[root@mica ~]# mv /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc8-tip-00777-g0918527-dirty/build/vmlinux /tmp/dd

As the parent comm then is worthless, confusing users about the
thread where the sample really happened, leading to think that
the sample happened in the parent, not where it really happened,
in the children of a thread for which a PERF_RECORD_COMM event
was not received.

I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to
just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a
perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file,
events, etc, so I untied these layers.
This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of
parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was
reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by
only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms
and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the
main kernel map.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
here.
Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

So that we can process two perf.data files.
We still need to add a O_MMAP mode for perf_session so that we
can do all the mmap stuff in it.

Using a struct thread instance just to hold the kernel space maps
(vmlinux + modules) is overkill and confuses people trying to
understand the perf symbols abstractions.
The kernel maps are really present in all threads, i.e. the kernel
is a library, not a separate thread.
So introduce the 'map_groups' abstraction and use it for the kernel
maps, now in the kmaps global variable.
It, in turn, will move, together with the threads list to the
perf_file abstraction, so that we can support multiple perf_file
instances, needed by perf diff.

Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to
process IP sample events:
int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self,
struct addr_location *al,
symbol_filter_t filter)
It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the
global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all
this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like
annotate and report can further process the event by creating
hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs,
etc).
It in turn uses the new next layer function:
void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode,
enum map_type type, u64 addr,
struct addr_location *al,
symbol_filter_t filter)
This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread
one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE
too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into
account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all
these details in the addr_location given.
Tools that need a more compact API for plain function
resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one:
struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr,
symbol_filter_t filter)
So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool
needs, its just a matter of calling:
sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL);
The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy
parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms.
With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is
always good, huh? :-)

Making the routines that were so far specific to the kernel maps
useful for all threads.
This is done by making the kernel maps be contained in a kernel
"thread".
This gets the kernel specific routines closer to the userspace
counterparts, which will help in reducing the boilerplate for
resolving a symbol, as will be demonstrated in the next patches.
