  perf tools: Fix use of wrong event when processing exit events (2015-09-02 17:46:26 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/urgent fixes:

- In some cases where perf_event.fork.{pid,tid} should be used we were instead
  using perf_event.comm.{pid,tid}, which is not a problem for for the 'pid'
  case, that sits in the same place in these union_perf_event members, but
  comm.tid sits where fork.ppid is, oops.

  These cases were considered as (potentially) problematic:

   - 'perf script' with !sample_id_all, i.e. only non old kernels without
      perf_event_attr.sample_id_all.

   - intel_pt could be affected when decoding without timestamps, as the exit
     event is only used to flush out data which anyway gets flushed at the
     end of the session.

   - intel_bts also uses the exit event to flush data which would probably not
     cause errors as it would get flushed at the end of the session instead.

  Fix it. (Adrian Hunter)

- Due to relaxing the compiler checks for bison generated files, we missed
  updating one parse_events_add_pmu() caller when this function had its
  prototype changed, fix it. (Jiri Olsa)
