Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] Thread memory improvements and fixes

The next 6 patches (now 7) from:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240202061532.1939474-1-irogers@google.com/
now the initial maps fixes have landed:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240210031746.4057262-1-irogers@google.com/

Separate out and reimplement threads to use a hashmap for lower memory
consumption and faster look up. The fixes a regression in memory usage
where reference count checking switched to using non-invasive tree
nodes.  Reduce threads default size by 32 times and improve locking
discipline. Also, fix regressions where tids had become unordered to
make `perf report --tasks` and `perf trace --summary` output easier to
read.

v3. Factor threads out of machine in 1 patch, then move threads
    functions in a second.
v2: improve comments and a commit message.

Ian Rogers (7):
  perf report: Sort child tasks by tid
  perf trace: Ignore thread hashing in summary
  perf machine: Move fprintf to for_each loop and a callback
  perf machine: Move machine's threads into its own abstraction
  perf threads: Move threads to its own files
  perf threads: Switch from rbtree to hashmap
  perf threads: Reduce table size from 256 to 8
