Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] perf cs-etm: Support thread stack

From: Leo Yan <[email-masked]>

Arm CoreSight doesn't support thread stack, thus the decoding cannot
display the symbol with indented spaces to reflect the stack depth.

This patch adds support thread stack, this allows 'perf script' to
support option '-F,+callindent'.

Before:

  # perf script -F,+callindent
            main  2808          1          branches: coresight_test1                      ffff8634f5c8 coresight_test1+0x3c (/root/coresight_test/libcstest.so)
            main  2808          1          branches: printf@plt                           aaaaba8d37ec main+0x28 (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches: printf@plt                           aaaaba8d36bc printf@plt+0xc (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches: _init                                aaaaba8d3650 _init+0x30 (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches: _dl_fixup                            ffff86373b4c _dl_runtime_resolve+0x40 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
            main  2808          1          branches: _dl_lookup_symbol_x                  ffff8636e078 _dl_fixup+0xb8 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
  [...]

After:

  # perf script -F,+callindent
            main  2808          1          branches:                 coresight_test1                                      ffff8634f5c8 coresight_test1+0x3c (/root/coresight_test/libcstest.so)
            main  2808          1          branches:                 printf@plt                                           aaaaba8d37ec main+0x28 (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches:                     printf@plt                                       aaaaba8d36bc printf@plt+0xc (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches:                     _init                                            aaaaba8d3650 _init+0x30 (/root/coresight_test/main)
            main  2808          1          branches:                     _dl_fixup                                        ffff86373b4c _dl_runtime_resolve+0x40 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.s
            main  2808          1          branches:                         _dl_lookup_symbol_x                          ffff8636e078 _dl_fixup+0xb8 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so)
