[PATCH v6 03/20] perf record: Introduce thread local variable

From: Alexey Bayduraev
Date: Wed May 26 2021 - 06:53:44 EST


Introduce thread local variable and use it for threaded trace streaming.
Use thread affinity mask instead or record affinity mask in affinity
modes.
Introduce and use evlist__ctlfd_update() function to propagate external
control commands to global evlist object.
