    perf tools: Fix synthesizing mmaps for threads · bfd66cc7
    Don Zickus 提交于
    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.
