John Keeping e8ba2906f6 perf unwind: Fix libunwind when tid != pid
Commit e5adfc3e7e ("perf map: Synthesize maps only for thread group
leader") changed the recording side so that we no longer get mmap events
for threads other than the thread group leader (when synthesising these
events for threads which exist before perf is started).

When a file recorded after this change is loaded, the lack of mmap
records mean that unwinding is not set up for any other threads.

This can be seen in a simple record/report scenario:

	perf record --call-graph=dwarf -t $TID
	perf report

If $TID is a process ID then the report will show call graphs, but if
$TID is a secondary thread the output is as if --call-graph=none was
specified.

Following the rationale in that commit, move the libunwind fields into
struct map_groups and update the libunwind functions to take this
instead of the struct thread.  This is only required for
unwind__finish_access which must now be called from map_groups__delete
and the others are changed for symmetry.

Note that unwind__get_entries keeps the thread argument since it is
required for symbol lookup and the libdw unwind provider uses the thread
ID.

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 Restructured Text 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.
