[PATCH RESEND] perf inject --jit: Remove //anon mmap events

From: Steve MacLean

From: Steve MacLean <Steve.MacLean@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

While a JIT is jitting code it will eventually need to commit more pages and
change these pages to executable permissions.

Typically the JIT will want these colocated to minimize branch displacements.

The kernel will coalesce these anonymous mapping with identical permissions
before sending an MMAP event for the new pages. This means the mmap event for
the new pages will include the older pages.

These anonymous mmap events will obscure the jitdump injected pseudo events.
This means that the jitdump generated symbols, machine code, debugging info,
and unwind info will no longer be used.

Observations:

When a process emits a jit dump marker and a jitdump file, the perf-xxx.map
file represents inferior information which has been superceded by the
jitdump jit-xxx.dump file.

Further the '//anon*' mmap events are only required for the legacy
perf-xxx.map mapping.

Summary:

Add rbtree to track which pids have sucessfully injected a jitdump file.

During "perf inject --jit", discard "//anon*" mmap events for any pid which
has sucessfully processed a jitdump file.

Committer testing:

// jitdump case
perf record <app with jitdump>
perf inject --jit --input perf.data --output perfjit.data

// verify mmap "//anon" events present initially
perf script --input perf.data --show-mmap-events | grep '//anon'
// verify mmap "//anon" events removed
perf script --input perfjit.data --show-mmap-events | grep '//anon'

// no jitdump case
perf record <app without jitdump>
perf inject --jit --input perf.data --output perfjit.data

// verify mmap "//anon" events present initially
perf script --input perf.data --show-mmap-events | grep '//anon'
// verify mmap "//anon" events not removed
perf script --input perfjit.data --show-mmap-events | grep '//anon'

Repro:

This issue was discovered while testing the initial CoreCLR jitdump
implementation. https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/pull/26897.
