<id>08ae217b8d44986062fe3648c5bb83816d5bc00f</id>
<content type='text'>
When we started adding extra stuff per array entry, growing the size of
those entries to more than sizeof(pid_t), we had to convert those sizeof
operations to the more robust sizeof(map-&gt;map[0]) idiom, that is future
proof, i.e. if/when we add more stuff to those entries, that expression
will produce the new per-entry size.

And besides that, we need to zero out those extra fields, that sometimes
may not get filled, like when we couldn't care less about the comms,
since we don't need those, but since we will try freeing it at
thread_map__delete(), we better fix it.

That is why a thread_map__realloc() was provided.

But that method wasn't used in thread_map__new_by_uid(), fix it.

Adding support to hold comm name together with pids in 'struct
thread_map'. It will be useful for --per-thread option to display task
pid together with task name.

Adding thread_map__read_comms function that reads/set
comm string for the 'struct thread_map'.

Getting the task name from /proc/$pid/comm.

We need to reset newly allocated 'struct thread_map_data' entries,
because we will introduce new comm memeber, which will get set later or
not at all.

Adding reference counting for thread_map object, so it could be easily
shared among other objects.

Using thread_map__put instead thread_map__delete and making
thread_map__delete static.
