perf namespaces: Add reference count checking

Add reference count checking controlled by REFCNT_CHECKING ifdef. The
reference count checking interposes an allocated pointer between the
reference counted struct on a get and frees the pointer on a put.
Accesses after a put cause faults and use after free, missed puts are
caughts as leaks and double puts are double frees.

This checking helped resolve a memory leak and use after free:

perf namespaces: Add helper nsinfo__is_in_root_namespace()

Refactors code for gathering PID infos, it creates the function
nsinfo__get_nspid() to parse process 'status' node in folder '/proc'.

Base on the refactoring, this patch introduces a new helper
nsinfo__is_in_root_namespace(), it returns true when the caller runs in
the root PID namespace.

# 67dec926 04-Nov-2020 Yonatan Goldschmidt <yonatan.goldschmidt@granulate.io>

perf inject jit: Add namespaces support

This patch fixes "perf inject --jit" to properly operate on
namespaced/containerized processes:

* jitdump files are generated by the process, thus they should be
looked up in its mount NS.

* DSOs of injected MMAP events will later be looked up in the process
mount NS, so write them into its NS.

* PIDs & TIDs from jitdump events need to be translated to the PID as
seen by "perf record" before written into MMAP events.

For a process in a different PID NS, the TID & PID given in the jitdump
event are actually ignored; I use the TID & PID of the thread which
mmap()ed the jitdump file. This is simplified and won't do for forks of
the initial process, if they continue using the same jitdump file.
Future patches might improve it.

This was tested by recording a NodeJS process running with
"--perf-prof", inside a Docker container, and by recording another
NodeJS process running in the same namespaces as perf itself, to make
sure it's not broken for non-containerized processes.

For better grouping, in time we may end up making most of these static,
i.e. generalizing the 'perf record' synthesizing code so that based on

perf tools: Restore proper cwd on return from mnt namespace

When reporting on 'record' server we try to retrieve/use the mnt
namespace of the profiled tasks. We use following API with cookie to
hold the return namespace, roughly:

nsinfo__mountns_enter(struct nsinfo *nsi, struct nscookie *nc)
setns(newns, 0);
...
new ns related open..
...
nsinfo__mountns_exit(struct nscookie *nc)
setns(nc->oldns)

Once finished we setns to old namespace, which also sets the current
working directory (cwd) to "/", trashing the cwd we had.

This is mostly fine, because we use absolute paths almost everywhere,
but it screws up 'perf diff':

# perf diff
failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first)
...

Adding the current working directory to be part of the cookie and
restoring it in the nsinfo__mountns_exit call.

# 3f4417d6 10-Aug-2018 Benno Evers <bevers@mesosphere.com>

perf tools: Check for null when copying nsinfo.

The argument to nsinfo__copy() was assumed to be valid, but some code paths
exist that will lead to NULL being passed.

In particular, running 'perf script -D' on a perf.data file containing an
PERF_RECORD_MMAP event associating the '[vdso]' dso with pid 0 earlier in
the event stream will lead to a segfault.

Since all calling code is already checking for a non-null return value,
just return NULL for this case as well.

perf maps: Lookup maps in both intitial mountns and inner mountns.

If a process is in a mountns and has symbols in /tmp/perf-<pid>.map,
look first in the namespace using the tgid for the pidns that the
process might be in. If the map isn't found there, try looking in the
mountns where perf is running, and use the tgid that's appropriate for
perf's pid namespace. If all else fails, use the original pid.

This allows us to locate a symbol map file in the mount namespace, if it
was generated there. However, we also try the tool's /tmp in case it's
there instead.

perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.

Committer notes:

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx
