Subject: [27/29] perf timechart: Use tid not pid for COMM change

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@...ux.intel.com>

commit 8f06d7e6e1bbfb32698d6d455583ab7460c090e2 upstream.

A process that changes its comm field, does this on a per kernel
task struct basis. The timechart tool used, incorrectly, the pid
to track this, and should have used the tid instead...
