perf trace: Read thread's COMM from /proc when not set
We get notifications for threads that gets created while we're tracing, but for preexisting threads we may end not having synthesized them, like when tracing a 'perf trace' session that will use '--pid' to trace some other thread. And besides we should probably stop synthesizing those records and instead read thread information in a lazy way, i.e. just when we need, like done in this patch: Now the 'pid_t' argument in 'perf_event_open' gets translated to a COMM: # perf trace -e perf_event_open perf stat -e cycles -p 31601 0.027 ( 0.027 ms): perf/23393 perf_event_open(attr_uptr: 0x2fdd0d8, pid: 31601 (abrt-dump-journ), cpu: -1, group_fd: -1, flags: FD_CLOEXEC) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = 3 ^C And in other syscalls containing pid_t without thread->comm_set at the time of the formatting.
