From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com>
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.
