Re: [PATCH v2 06/14] perf auxtrace: Turn Intel BTS snapshot search into a generic one

> Currently each auxtrace user has to implement both the snapshot search
> and the logic to fixup the 'head' and 'old' values after finding a wrap.
> IntelPT and BTS have the same fixup logic but different wrap searches.
> BTS and Arm SPE have the same search but SPE modifies head differently
> (although it probably shouldn’t), and Arm Coresight doesn't have a
> search at all, but later it will want its own search and same fixup
> logic.
> 
> Start moving towards a system where the pointers are always fixed up in
> the same way by auxtrace.c, and users only have to provide a search
> function or can use the generic one without reimplementing it.
> 
> The new auxtrace_find_snapshot() calls the search callback if it's
> implemented, handles pointer fixup in a consistent way and is based on
> intel_bts_find_snapshot(). auxtrace_record__has_wrapped() is the generic
> search function based on intel_bts_has_wrapped() and includes the
> caching from intel_bts_find_snapshot(). The old find_snapshot callback
> will eventually be removed.
> 
> No functional changes intended apart from changing the pr_debug3()s
> to print hex to match __auxtrace_mmap__read() and no longer leaking
> snapshot_refs when expanding the array length.
