Ian Rogers 3f4ac23a99 perf dsos: Switch backing storage to array from rbtree/list
DSOs were held on a list for fast iteration and in an rbtree for fast
finds.

Switch to using a lazily sorted array where iteration is just iterating
through the array and binary searches are the same complexity as
searching the rbtree.

The find may need to sort the array first which does increase the
complexity, but add operations have lower complexity and overall the
complexity should remain about the same.

The set name operations on the dso just records that the array is no
longer sorted, avoiding complexity in rebalancing the rbtree.

Tighter locking discipline is enforced to avoid the array being resorted
while long and short names or ids are changed.

The array is smaller in size, replacing 6 pointers with 2, and so even
with extra allocated space in the array, the array may be 50%
unoccupied, the memory saving should be at least 2x.

Committer testing:

On a previous version of this patchset we were getting a lot of warnings
about deleting a DSO still on a list, now it is ok:

  root@x1:~# perf probe -l
  root@x1:~# perf probe finish_task_switch
  Added new event:
    probe:finish_task_switch (on finish_task_switch)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:finish_task_switch -aR sleep 1

  root@x1:~# perf probe -l
    probe:finish_task_switch (on finish_task_switch@kernel/sched/core.c)
  root@x1:~# perf trace -e probe:finish_task_switch/max-stack=8/ --max-events=1
       0.000 migration/0/19 probe:finish_task_switch(__probe_ip: -1894408688)
                                         finish_task_switch.isra.0 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         __schedule ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         schedule ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         smpboot_thread_fn ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         kthread ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         ret_from_fork ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         ret_from_fork_asm ([kernel.kallsyms])
  root@x1:~#
  root@x1:~# perf probe -d probe:*
  Removed event: probe:finish_task_switch
  root@x1:~# perf probe -l
  root@x1:~#

I also ran the full 'perf test' suite after applying this one, no
regressions.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
