From a84808083688d82d7f1e5786ccf5df0ff7d448cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 16:16:41 +0200 Subject: perf tools: Only override the default :tid comm entry Events may still be ordered even if there are no timestamps e.g. if the data is recorded per-thread. Also synthesized COMM events have a timestamp of zero. Consequently it is better to keep comm entries even if they have a timestamp of zero. However, when a struct thread is created the command string is not known and a comm entry with a string of the form ":" is used. In that case thread->comm_set is false and the comm entry should be overridden.
