Enhance the thread stack to output detailed information about paired
calls and returns.
The enhanced processing consumes sample information via
thread_stack__process() and outputs information about paired calls /
returns via a call-back.
While the call-back makes it possible for the facility to be used by
arbitrary tools, a subsequent patch will provide the information to
Python scripting via the db-export interface.
An important part of the call/return information is the
call path which provides a structure that defines a context
sensitive call graph.
Note that there are now two ways to use the thread stack.
For simply providing a call stack (like you would get from the perf
record -g option) the interface consists of thread_stack__event() and
thread_stack__sample().
Whereas the enhanced interface consists of call_return_processor__new()
and thread_stack__process().

events.
