perf: Do the comm inheritance per thread in event__process_task
event__process_task() doesn't propagate the comm copy on clone, but only on process fork. So we loose all the tid:comm resolution for tasks that aren't a main process thread. Progragate the per thread granularity to event__process_task for pid resolution. This fixes various unresolved pids in perf sched, especially when we trace multithread processes. The problem is quickly reproducible with the messaging benchmark using the multithread mode "-t" : perf sched record perf bench sched messaging -t Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
