[PATCH v2 1/2] perf callchain: Create an address space per thread

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Sep 29 2014 - 00:58:33 EST


The unw_addr_space_t in libunwind represents an address space to be
used for stack unwinding. It doesn't need to be create/destory
everytime to unwind callchain (as in get_entries) and can have a same
lifetime as thread (unless exec called).

So move the address space construction/destruction logic to the thread
lifetime handling functions. This is a preparation to enable caching
in the unwind library.

Note that it saves unw_addr_space_t object using thread__set_priv().
It seems currently only used by perf trace and perf kvm stat commands
which don't use callchain.
