[PATCH v15 2/8] perf evlist: Introduce aux evlist

From: Wang Nan
Date: Mon Jul 11 2016 - 02:57:24 EST


An auxiliary evlist is created by perf_evlist__new_aux() using an
existing evlist as its parent. An auxiliary evlist can have its own
'struct perf_mmap', but can't have any other data. User should use its
parent instead when accessing other data.

Auxiliary evlists are containers of 'struct perf_mmap'. It is introduced
to allow its parent evlist to map different events into separated mmaps.

Following commits create an auxiliary evlist for overwritable
events, because overwritable events need a read only and backwards ring
buffer, which is different from normal events.

To achieve this goal, this patch carefully changes 'evlist' to
'evlist->parent' in all functions in the path of 'perf_evlist__mmap_ex',
except 'evlist->mmap' related operations, to make sure all evlist
modifications (like pollfd and event id hash tables) goes to original
evlist.

A 'evlist->parent' pointer is added to 'struct perf_evlist' and points to
the evlist itself for normal evlists.

Children of one evlist are linked into it so one can find all children
from its parent.

To avoid potential complexity, forbid creating aux evlist from another
aux evlist.

Improve perf_evlist__munmap_filtered(), so when recording, if an event
is terminated, unmap mmaps, from parent and children.
