Ok I tried perf report, perf script and perf top and it looks good.
In fact it looks better than the tip tree. I fixes some bugs that I can
see in tip:/perf/core:

     $ perf record perf bench sched messaging
     $ perf report --stdio -s comm
     write failure on standard output: Bad file descriptor

Not sure where that comes from, but it's fixed in your tree. May be that's
on the fixes before the comm patches in your tree.

Also it differentiate between pre-exec and post-fork events, which looks
more precise (and it fixes some comm mangling as well):


Before:

     # Overhead          Command
     # ........  ...............
     #
       100.00%  sched-me

After:

     # Overhead          Command
     # ........  ...............
     #
        99.89%  sched-messaging
        0.11%             perf


Thanks!
