Attributes (struct perf_event_attr) are recorded separately in the
perf.data file. perf script uses them to set up output options.
However attributes can also be in the event stream, for example when the
input is a pipe (i.e. live mode). This patch makes perf script process
in-stream attributes in the same way as on-file attributes.
Here is an example:
Before this patch:
$ perf record uname | perf script
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB (null) (~655 samples) ]

This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type
exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record.
It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and
the inode number and generation.
This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It
can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for
instance.
The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

[ Cope with 314add6 "Change machine__findnew_thread() to set thread pid",
fix 'perf test' regression test entry affected,
use perf_missing_features.mmap2 to fallback to not using .mmap2 in older kernels,
so that new tools can work with kernels where this feature is not present ]

As suggested by Arnaldo, many scripts have their own usages and need
capture specific events or tracepoints, so only those scripts whose
target events match the events in current perf data file should be
listed in the script browser menu.
This patch will add the event match checking, by opening "xxx-record"
script to cherry pick out all events name and comparing them with
those inside the perf data file.

Currently many perf commands annotate/evlist/report/script/lock etc all
support "-i" option to chose a specific perf data, and all of them
create a local "input_name" to save the file name for that perf data.
Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for
it, also it can some other benefits:
1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs
to know the perf data file name to run that script.
2. For further feature like runtime switching to another perf data file,
this variable can also help.

When we were processing a PERF_RECORD_EXIT event we first used
machine__findnew_thread for both the thread exiting and for its parent,
only to use just the thread struct associated with the one exiting, and
to just delete it.
If it existed, i.e. not created at this very moment in
machine__findnew_thread, it will be moved to the machine->dead_threads
linked list, because we may have hist_entries pointing to it, but if it
was created just do be deleted, it will just sit there with no
references at all.
Use the new machine__find_thread() method so that if it is not there, we
don't create it.
As a bonus the parent thread will also not be created at this point.
Create process_fork() and process_exit() helpers to use this and make
the builtins use it instead of the generic process_task(), ditched by
this patch.
