[PATCH 3/4] perf tools: Add new comm infrastructure

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Thu Sep 12 2013 - 16:30:20 EST


This new comm infrastructure provides two features:

1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This
way we can associate a timeframe to any thread comm, as long as
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to comm and fork events.

As a result we should have more precise comm sorted hists with
seperated entries for pre and post exec time after a fork.

2) It also makes sure that a given comm string is not duplicated
but rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the
threads comm can be compared against pointer values from the sort
infrastructure.
