    perf callchain: Start moving away from global per thread cursors · 91d7b2de
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several
    new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance:
    
      # perf test -v python
      16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      :
      --- start ---
      test child forked, pid 18030
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
      callchain_cursor
      test child finished with -1
      ---- end ----
      Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
      #
    
    This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global
    callchain_cursor variables.
    
    Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a
    callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more
    function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global
    variable.
