Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d43c244703 perf namespaces: Introduce nsinfo__set_in_pidns() 
[ Upstream commit 9c6a585d25 ]

When we're processing a perf.data file we will, for every thread in that
file do a machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, tid) that when that pid
is seen for the first time will create a 'struct thread' representing
it.

That in turn will call nsinfo__new() -> nsinfo__init() and there it will
assume we're running live, which is wrong and will need to be addressed
in a followup patch.

The nsinfo__new() assumes that if we can't access that thread it has
already finished and will ignore the -1 return from nsinfo__init(), just
taking notes to avoid trying to enter in that namespace, since it isn't
there anymore, a race.

When doing this from 'perf inject', tho, we can fill in parts of that
nsinfo from what we get from the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 (pid, tid) and in the
jitdump file name, that has the form of jit-<PID>.dump.

So if the pid in the jitdump file name is not the one in the
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2, we can assume that its the pid of the process
_inside_ the namespace, and that perf was runing outside that namespace.

This will be done in the following patch.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
