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.

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.

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.

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
Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process
8888.

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.

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.

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.
