tracing: identify which executable object the userspace address belongs to

Impact: modify+improve the userstacktrace tracing visualization feature

Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the
process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map,
but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process
might not exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is
unlikely.

Example usage:

 mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
 echo sym-userobj >iter_ctrl
 echo sched_switch >current_tracer
 echo 1 >tracing_enabled
 cat trace_pipe >/tmp/trace&
 .... run application ...
 echo 0 >tracing_enabled
 cat /tmp/trace

You'll see stack entries like:

   /lib/libpthread-2.7.so[+0xd370]

You can convert them to function/line using:

   addr2line -fie /lib/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370

Or:

   addr2line -fie /usr/lib/debug/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370

For non-PIC/PIE executables this won't work:

   a.out[+0x73b]

You need to run the following: addr2line -fie a.out 0x40073b
(where 0x400000 is the default load address of a.out)

userstacktrace - This option changes the trace.
It records a stacktrace of the current userspace thread.
sym-userobj - when user stacktrace are enabled, look up which object the
address belongs to, and print a relative address
This is especially useful when ASLR is on, otherwise you don't
get a chance to resolve the address to object/file/line after the app is no
longer running
The lookup is performed when you read trace,trace_pipe,latency_trace. Example:
a.out-1623 [000] 40874.465068: /root/a.out[+0x480] <-/root/a.out[+0
x494] <- /root/a.out[+0x4a8] <- /lib/libc-2.7.so[+0x1e1a6]
sched-tree - TBD (any users??)
