Adrian Hunter 5d2b6bc3a6 perf intel-pt: Add guest_code support
A common case for KVM test programs is that the test program acts as the
hypervisor, creating, running and destroying the virtual machine, and
providing the guest object code from its own object code. In this case,
the VM is not running an OS, but only the functions loaded into it by the
hypervisor test program, and conveniently, loaded at the same virtual
addresses.

To support that, a new option "--guest-code" has been added in
previous patches.

In this patch, add support also to Intel PT.

In particular, ensure guest_code thread is set up before attempting to
walk object code or synthesize samples.

Example:

 # perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/cyc/ -- tools/testing/selftests/kselftest_install/kvm/tsc_msrs_test
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.280 MB perf.data ]
 # perf script --guest-code --itrace=bep --ns -F-period,+addr,+flags
