Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf: fix synthesizing mmaps for threads
Currently if a process creates a bunch of threads using pthread_create
and then perf is run in system_wide mode, the mmaps for those threads
are not captured with a synthesized mmap event.
The reason is those threads are not visible when walking the /proc/
directory looking for /proc/<pid>/maps files. Instead they are discovered
using the /proc/<pid>/tasks file (which the synthesized comm event uses).
This causes problems when a program is trying to map a data address to a
tid. Because the tid has no maps, the event is dropped. Changing the program
to look up using the pid instead of the tid, finds the correct maps but creates
ugly hacks in the program to carry the correct tid around.
Fix this by moving the walking of the /proc/<pid>/tasks up a level (out of the
comm function) based on Arnaldo's suggestion.
Tweaked things a bit to special case the 'full' bit and 'guest' check.
