Did you mean this?
struct perf_sample sample = { .time = -1ULL, };

It seems like a leftover from previous changes, will remove.

Nop, the create arg adds the thread to the dead thread tree (or
missing thread tree later). And the initial flag adds it to the
normal threads tree like in case of synthesized events. This was
because I firstly used the *_findnew_thread_time() for the meta event
processing, but then I realized that using *_findnew_thread() makes
the processing much easier since the meta events are processed
sequencially. And this *_findnew_thread_time() is used only for
sample processing. Maybe we can use 'false' instead of the
'initial'..

Okay, I can do it.

Well, mostly the search will be succeeded, and if it failed it's
either newly created thread so curr = NULL and adds it to the normal
tree. Otherwise (rarely) there might be a missing fork event and the
sample is for an older thread in that any timestamp didn't match to
existing (current and dead) threads. So I added it to the dead thread
tree. But with multi-thread support enabled, it'll be added to the
new missing threads tree which is protected by a mutex.

It searchs a thread in the dead threads tree based on timestamp value.
So the list should be sorted by time order. But yes, I agree that
this change should be moved to the dead thread conversion patch.
