libperf: Add API for allocating new thread map array
The existing API perf_thread_map__new_dummy() allocates new thread map for one thread. I couldn't find a way to reallocate the map with more threads, or to allocate a new map for more than one thread. Having multiple threads in a thread map is essential for some use cases. That's why a new API is proposed, which allocates a new thread map for given number of threads: perf_thread_map__new_array() Signed-off-by: Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20220221102628.43904-1-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
