[PATCH] perf tools: Synthesize anon MMAP records on the heap

From: Gaurav Jain
Date: Sat Jan 11 2014 - 23:34:00 EST


Anon records usually do not have the 'execname' entry. However if they are on
the heap, the execname shows up as '[heap]'. The fix considers any executable
entries in the map that do not have a name or are on the heap as anon records
and sets the name to '//anon'.

This fixes JIT profiling for records on the heap.
