This fixes a long-standing bug caused by the lack of separate COMM and EXEC record types, which makes "perf report" lose track of symbols when a process renames itself. With this fix (suggested by Stephane Eranian), a COMM (rename) no longer flushes the maps, which is the correct behavior. An EXEC also no longer flushes the maps, but this doesn't matter because as new mappings are created (for the executable and the libraries) the old mappings are automatically removed. This is not by accident: the functionality is necessary because DLLs can be explicitly loaded at any time with dlopen(), possibly on top of existing text, so "perf report" handles correctly the clobbering of new mappings on top of old ones. An alternative patch (which I proposed earlier) would be to introduce a separate PERF_RECORD_EXEC type, but it is a much larger change (about 300 lines) and is not necessary.
