    perf session: Move kmaps to perf_session · 4aa65636
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
    from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
    the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
    matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
    here.
    
    Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
    the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
    loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
    creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
    store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
    one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.
