    perf callchain: Create an address space per thread · 66f066d8
    Namhyung Kim authored
    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.
