[PATCH v5 00/50] Improvements to memory use

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Fix memory leaks detected by address/leak sanitizer affecting LBR
call-graphs, perf mem and BPF offcpu.

Make branch_type_stat in callchain_list optional as it is large and
not always necessary - in particular it isn't used by perf top.

Make the allocations of zstd streams, kernel symbols and event copies
lazier in order to save memory in cases like perf record.

Handle the thread exit event and have it remove the thread from the
threads set in machine. Don't do this for perf report as it causes a
regression for task lists, which assume threads are never removed from
the machine's set, and offcpu events, that may sythensize samples for
threads that have exited.

Avoid using 8kb buffers for filename__read_str which is excessive for
reading CPU maps. Add io_dir as an allocation free readdir
replacement, opendir allocating 32kb by default and the code uses it
recursively.

Shrink perf map using a two value byte to replace two function
pointers. 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. Experimented with, but abandoned, a hashmap
implementation due to the need for extra storage and the keys not
being stable.

The overall effect is to reduce memory consumption significantly for
perf top - with call graphs enabled running longer before 1GB of
memory is consumed. For a perf record of 'true', the memory
consumption goes from 39912kb max resident to 20096kb max resident -
nearly halved. perf inject with -b of a system wide perf record of
'true' reduces the max resident by roughly 4.5% (3.4% in v4 due to
branch_type_stat changes being merged). This is while improving
correctness with locking discipline and reference count checking.

Patch organization (v5):
 - 50 patches is a lot, the patches aren't divided as they merge conflict and
   later patches, for example in dsos, rely on the changes and fixes to maps.
 - the dso reference count checking patch is larger due to switch use of dso to
   be by accessors, to encapsulate the reference count checker macros. The
   reference count checking changes within this largely mechanical change amount
   to a few lines and so weren't separated.
 - the first patch contains a build fix if the rwsem error checking is
   enabled missed from v3.
 - the next patches are an assortment of memory size fixes.
 - the next patches are the refactoring of maps.
 - the next patches are the refactoring of threads.
 - the next patches are the refactoring of dsos.
 - finally reference count checking is added to dso and some lock/reference
   count issues are resolved. This is done after changing the data structures,
   for example, as the single pointer on an array is easier to add reference
   count checking to compared to the 5 previous pointers.

v5: 3 patches were merged. 2nd patch addressed feedback from
    namhyung@kernel.org and Guilherme Amadio <amadio@gentoo.org>. 4th
    patch rename function to getdelim as suggested by
    namhyung@kernel.org. 5 patch adds the missing sysfs mountpoint as
    suggested by namhyung@kernel.org. 49th patch fix a missed put in
    the dso_data tests.
v4: Rebased as 11 changes moved to perf-tools-next. Address comments
    from v3 such as error checking on zstd streams. Improve the
    dsos/dso in ways similar to threads and maps, with the addition of
    reference count checking on dso.
v3: Additional memory/speed improvements, in particular for maps and
    threads. Address review comments from namhyung@kernel.org and
    adrian.hunter@intel.com.
v2: Add additional memory fixes on top of initial LBR and rc check
    fixes.
