[PATCH v7 00/25] maps/threads/dsos memory improvements and fixes

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Wed Jan 03 2024 - 00:07:02 EST

Modify the implementation of maps to not use an rbtree as the
container for maps, instead use a sorted array. Improve locking and
reference counting issues.

Similar to maps separate out and reimplement threads to use a hashmap
for lower memory consumption and faster look up. The fixes a
regression in memory usage where reference count checking switched to
using non-invasive tree nodes. Reduce its default size by 32 times
and improve locking discipline. Also, fix regressions where tids had
become unordered to make `perf report --tasks` and
`perf trace --summary` output easier to read.

Better encapsulate the dsos abstraction. Remove the linked list and
rbtree used for faster iteration and log(n) lookup to a sorted array
for similar performance but half the memory usage per dso. Improve
reference counting and locking discipline, adding reference count
checking to dso.

v7:
- rebase to latest perf-tools-next where 22 patches were applied by Arnaldo.
- resolve merge conflicts, in particular with fc044c53b99f ("perf
annotate-data: Add dso->data_types tree") that required more dso
accessor functions.

v6 series is here:
