Add a utility function to fetch executable code. Convert one
user over to it. There are more places doing that, but they
do significantly different actions, so they are not
easy to fit into a single library function.
Committer changes:
. No need to cast around, make 'buf' be a void pointer.
. Rename it to thread__memcpy() to reflect the fact it is about copying
a chunk of memory from a thread, i.e. from its address space.
. No need to have it in a separate object file, move it to thread.[ch]
. Check the return of map__load(), the original code didn't do it, but
since we're moving this around, check that as well.

Several places were using definitions found in symbols.h but not
including it, getting it by sheer luck from some other headers that now
are in the process of removing that include because they don't need it

perf creates a single 'struct thread' to represent the idle task. That
is because threads are identified by PID and TID, and the idle task
always has PID == TID == 0.
However, there are actually separate idle tasks for each CPU. That
creates a problem for thread stack processing which assumes that each
thread has a single stack, not one stack per CPU.
Fix that by passing through the CPU number, and in the case of the idle
"thread", pick the thread stack from an array based on the CPU number.

By default 'perf script' for itrace outputs sampled instructions or
branches. In my experience this is confusing to users because it's hard
to correlate with real program behavior. The sampling makes sense for
tools like 'perf report' that actually sample to reduce the run time,
but run time is normally not a problem for 'perf script'. It's better
to give an accurate representation of the program flow.
Default 'perf script' to output all calls for itrace. That's a much saner
default. The old behavior can be still requested with 'perf script'

Out of thread__find_add_map(..., MAP__FUNCTION, ...), idea here is to
continue removing references to MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} ahead of
getting both types of symbols in the same rbtree, as various places do
two lookups, looking first at MAP__FUNCTION, then at MAP__VARIABLE.
So thread__find_map() will eventually do just that, and 'struct symbol'
will have the symbol type, for code that cares about that.

Change Intel PT and BTS to pass up the length and the instruction
bytes of the decoded or sampled instruction in the perf sample.
The decoder already knows this information, we just need to pass it
up. Since it is only a couple of movs it is not very expensive.
Handle instruction cache too. Make sure ilen is always initialized.
Used in the next patch.

Tidy instruction buffer size usage in preparation for copying the
instruction bytes onto samples.
The instruction buffer is presently used for debugging, so rename its
size macro from INTEL_PT_INSN_DBG_BUF_SZ to INTEL_PT_INSN_BUF_SZ, and
use it everywhere.
Note that the maximum instruction size is 15 which is a less efficient size
to copy than 16, which is why a separate buffer size is used.

In preparation for using the thread stack to print an indent
representing the stack depth in perf script, add an option to tell
decoders to feed branches to the thread stack. Add support for that
option to Intel PT and Intel BTS.
The advantage of using the decoder to feed the thread stack is that it
happens before branch filtering and so can be used with different itrace
options (e.g. it still works when only showing calls, even though the
thread stack needs to see calls and returns). Also it does not conflict
with using the thread stack to get callchains.

When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to
ignore the initialization code at the beginning.
On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in
initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf
script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data.
This patch adds an extension to the --itrace argument that skips 'n'
events (instructions, branches or transactions) at the beginning. This
is much more efficient.
v2:
Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter)
Document in itrace.txt
Fix branch check
Check transactions and instructions too

In 473398a21d ("perf tools: Add cpumode to struct perf_sample"), I
missed some places where perf_sample fields are directly initialized in
addition to what is done in perf_evsel__parse_sample(), namely when
synthesizing PERF_RECORD_{MMAP*,COMM,FORK,EXIT} for pre-existing threads
and also in intel_pt and intel_bts when synthesizing events from
processor trace, the jitdump code also was affected, fix it.
The problem was noticed with running:
# perf record -e intel_pt//u true
# perf script
Where the samples wouldn't get resolved because perf_sample.cpumode
would be left as zero, i.e. PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_UNKNOWN, not
resolving as kernel, hypervisor or user cpu modes.

In a couple of cases the 'comm' member of 'union event' has been used
instead of the correct member ('fork') when processing exit events.
In the cases where it has been used incorrectly, only the 'pid' and
'tid' are affected. The 'pid' value would be correct anyway because it
is in the same position in 'comm' and 'fork' events, but the 'tid' would
have been incorrectly assigned from 'ppid'.
However, for exit events, the kernel puts the current task in the 'ppid'
and 'ttid' which is the same as the exiting task. That is 'ppid' ==
'pid' and if the task is not multi-threaded, 'pid' == 'tid' i.e. the
data goes wrong only when tracing multi-threaded programs.
It is hard to find an example of how this would produce an error in
practice. There are 3 occurences of the fix:
1. perf script is only affected if !sample_id_all which only happens on
old kernels.
2. intel_pt is only affected when decoding without timestamps
and would probably still decode correctly - the exit event is
only used to flush out data which anyway gets flushed at the
end of the session
3. intel_bts also uses the exit event to flush data which
would probably not cause errors as it would get flushed at
the end of the session instead
