perf tools: Fix comm for processes with named threads
perf does not properly handle monitoring of processes with named threads.
For example:
$ ps -C myapp -L
PID LWP TTY TIME CMD
25118 25118 ? 00:00:00 myapp
25118 25119 ? 00:00:00 myapp:worker
perf record -e cs -c 1 -fo /tmp/perf.data -p 25118 -- sleep 10
perf report --stdio -i /tmp/perf.data
100.00% myapp:worker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] perf_event_task_sched_out
The process name is set to the name of the last thread it finds for the
process.
The Problem:
perf-top and perf-record both create a thread_map of threads to be
monitored. That map is used in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map which
loops over the entries in thread_map and calls __event__synthesize_thread
to generate COMM and MMAP events.
__event__synthesize_thread calls perf_event__synthesize_comm which opens
/proc/pid/status, reads the name of the task and its thread group id.
That's all fine. The problem is that it then reads /proc/pid/task and
generates COMM events for each task it finds - but using the name found
in /proc/pid/status where pid is the thread of interest.
The end result (looping over thread_map + synthesizing comm events for
each thread each time) means the name of the last thread processed sets
the name for all threads in the process - which is not good for
multithreaded processes with named threads.
The Fix:
perf_event__synthesize_comm has an input argument (full) that decides
whether to process task entries for each pid it is passed. It currently
never set to 0 (perf_event__synthesize_comm has a single caller and it
always passes the value 1). Let's fix that.
Add the full input argument to __event__synthesize_thread which passes
it to perf_event__synthesize_comm. For thread/process monitoring set full
to 0 which means COMM and MMAP events are only generated for the pid
passed to it. For system wide monitoring set full to 1 so that COMM events
are generated for all threads in a process.
