    perf tools: Add new COMM infrastructure · 1902efe7
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    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.
