Subject: Re: [RFC] perf report: introduce --map-anon-mem for anon-executable-memory
 symbols parsing

--map-anon-mem is not a good name. The user defined map area list
introduced in this patch can be used on not only anon mapping but
also file mapping.

Please describe how we implement it briefly.

Here is a problem: if there is a FORK event in perf.data for that thread,
the thread created here will be cleared, the user defined mapping is also
removed.

I think splitting this patch into small pieces can make it easier to read:

perf tools: map: Search user defined map area list before areas get from 
perf.data
perf tools: Creat user defined map area list when creating 'struct thread'
perf record: Introduce --custom-map options

Thank you.
