[PATCH v3 3/6] perf cs-etm: Support thread stack

[Leo Yan]

Since Arm CoreSight doesn't support thread stack, the decoding cannot
display symbols with indented spaces to reflect the stack depth.

This patch adds support thread stack for Arm CoreSight, this allows
'perf script' to display properly for option '-F,+callindent'.

Before:

  # perf script -F,+callindent
            main  2808          1          branches: coresight_test1                      ffff8634f5c8 coresight_test1+0x3c (/root/coresight_test/libcstest.so)
            main  2808          1          branches: printf@plt                           aaaaba8d37ec main+0x28 (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches: printf@plt                           aaaaba8d36bc printf@plt+0xc (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches: _init                                aaaaba8d3650 _init+0x30 (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches: _dl_fixup                            ffff86373b4c _dl_runtime_resolve+0x40 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
            main  2808          1          branches: _dl_lookup_symbol_x                  ffff8636e078 _dl_fixup+0xb8 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
  [...]

After:

  # perf script -F,+callindent
            main  2808          1          branches:                 coresight_test1                                      ffff8634f5c8 coresight_test1+0x3c (/root/coresight_test/libcstest.so)
            main  2808          1          branches:                 printf@plt                                           aaaaba8d37ec main+0x28 (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches:                     printf@plt                                       aaaaba8d36bc printf@plt+0xc (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches:                     _init                                            aaaaba8d3650 _init+0x30 (/root/coresight_test/main)
