    perf tools: Release thread resources on PERF_RECORD_EXIT · 591765fd
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
    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.
