Will make things easier for perf top that will want to pass a callback
to filter some symbols.

When creating a dso instance allow asking that all symbols in this dso
have a private area just before the symbol.

perf top will use this for its counters, etc.

Commit 564c2b21 ("perf_counter: Optimize context switch between
identical inherited contexts") introduced a race where it is possible
that a counter being attached to a task could get attached to the
wrong task, if the task is one that has inherited its context from
another task via fork.  This happens because the optimized context
switch could switch the context to another task after find_get_context
has read task->perf_counter_ctxp.  In fact, it's possible that the
context could then get freed, if the other task then exits.

This fixes the problem by protecting both the context switch and the
critical code in find_get_context with spinlocks.  The context switch
locks the cxt->lock of both the outgoing and incoming contexts before
swapping them.  That means that once code such as find_get_context
has obtained the spinlock for the context associated with a task,
the context can't get swapped to another task.  However, the context
may have been swapped in the interval between reading
task->perf_counter_ctxp and getting the lock, so it is necessary to
check and retry.

To make sure that none of the contexts being looked at in
find_get_context can get freed, this changes the context freeing code
to use RCU.  Thus an rcu_read_lock() is sufficient to ensure that no
contexts can get freed.  This part of the patch is lifted from a patch
posted by Peter Zijlstra.

This also adds a check to make sure that we can't add a counter to a
task that is exiting.

There is also a race between perf_counter_exit_task and
find_get_context; this solves the race by moving the get_ctx that
was in perf_counter_alloc into the locked region in find_get_context,
so that once find_get_context has got the context for a task, it
won't get freed even if the task calls perf_counter_exit_task.  It
doesn't matter if new top-level (non-inherited) counters get attached
to the context after perf_counter_exit_task has detached the context
from the task.  They will just stay there and never get scheduled in
until the counters' fds get closed, and then perf_release will remove
them from the context and eventually free the context.

With this, we are now doing the unclone in find_get_context rather
than when a counter was added to or removed from a context (actually,
we were missing the unclone_ctx() call when adding a counter to a
context).  We don't need to unclone when removing a counter from a
context because we have no way to remove a counter from a cloned
context.

This also takes out the smp_wmb() in find_get_context, which Peter
Zijlstra pointed out was unnecessary because the cmpxchg implies a
full barrier anyway.

Don't let funny events confuse us, stick to what we know and
try to find sensible data again.

If we find an unknown event, check we're still u64 aligned, and
increment by one u64. This ensures we're bound to happen upon a
valid event soon.

method that just dumps the records as they are read in - then we exit.
